Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1 lb chicken strips
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup chicken broth
4 1/2 ounces sliced mushrooms
2 1/4 ounces black olives
2 cups cooked jasmine rice

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet then add and cook chicken strips until light brown on both sides.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients except rice and bring to a full boil turning the chicken several times. cook for about 2 or 3 minute
  • Turn off heat, add the cooked rice just before serving and mix well until the rice is covered with the sauce.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of the dish. Look for fresh, organic chicken and vegetables, and a good-quality balsamic vinegar.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When searing the chicken, make sure to give each piece enough space so that it can brown properly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of sear.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit before removing it from the heat.
  • Reduce the balsamic vinegar until it is thick and syrupy. This will help to concentrate the flavor of the vinegar and give it a more complex taste.
  • Serve the chicken and rice immediately. This dish is best enjoyed when it is fresh and hot.

Conclusion:

Balsamic chicken and rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, the rice is fluffy and flavorful, and the balsamic vinegar adds a delicious tangy sweetness. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
