Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (4-pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces (giblets, neck and backbone reserved for another use)
1/2 cup low-salt chicken broth
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Whisk the vinegar, mustard, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper in small bowl to blend. Combine the vinaigrette and chicken pieces in a large resealable plastic bag; seal the bag and toss to coat. Refrigerate, turning the chicken pieces occasionally, for at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Remove chicken from the bag and arrange the chicken pieces on a large greased baking dish. Roast until the chicken is just cooked through, about 1 hour. If your chicken browns too quickly, cover it with foil for the remaining cooking time. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Place the baking dish on a burner over medium-low heat. Whisk the chicken broth into the pan drippings, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the baking sheet with a wooden spoon and mixing them into the broth and pan drippings. Drizzle the pan drippings over the chicken. Sprinkle the lemon zest and parsley over the chicken, and serve.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes     Skillet

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
salt and pepper to taste
¾ pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 cloves garlic
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
¾ cup chicken broth
1 bay leaf
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Rinse the mushrooms and pat dry. Season the flour with salt and pepper and dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture. Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat and saute the chicken until it is nicely browned on one side (about 3 minutes).
  • Add the garlic. Turn the chicken breasts and scatter the mushrooms over them. Continue frying, shaking the skillet and stirring the mushrooms. Cook for about 3 minutes, then add the vinegar, broth, bay leaf and thyme. Cover tightly and simmer over medium low heat for 10 minutes, turning occasionally.
  • Transfer the chicken to a warm serving platter and cover with foil. Set aside. Continue simmering the sauce, uncovered, over medium high heat for about 7 minutes. Swirl in the butter or margarine and discard the bay leaf. Pour this mushroom sauce mixture over the chicken and serve.

Tips:

  • Opt for high-quality balsamic vinegar. A good balsamic vinegar will have a thick, syrupy consistency and a rich, complex flavor.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices. Fresh herbs and spices will add a lot of flavor to your chicken breasts. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and onion powder.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken breasts will not cook evenly. Make sure there is enough space between each chicken breast so that they can cook properly.
  • Cook the chicken breasts over medium-high heat. This will help to sear the chicken breasts and keep them juicy.
  • Baste the chicken breasts with the balsamic vinegar mixture frequently. This will help to keep the chicken breasts moist and flavorful.
  • Let the chicken breasts rest before serving. This will help to keep the juices in the chicken breasts and prevent them from drying out.

Conclusion:

Balsamic vinegar chicken breasts are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The balsamic vinegar adds a rich, tangy flavor to the chicken breasts, and the herbs and spices give them a lot of flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
