SUMMER GARDEN MEDLEY



Summer Garden Medley image

I got this recipe from LoversDream, a Zaar chef, who gave me permission to post this. I did make some changes, but it tastes so fresh and there's that sweet vinegar flavor all through it.

Provided by WI Cheesehead

Categories     Cauliflower

Time 6h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups fresh cauliflower florets
2 cups fresh broccoli florets
2 large carrots, sliced into thin coins
1 large cucumbers or 2 small cucumbers
1/2-1 cup cherry tomatoes
1/2-1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips and halved
2 green onions, chopped (whites and greens)
1 cup distilled white vinegar
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
1 tablespoon water
salt & pepper, to taste

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your dish taste its best. Look for ripe vegetables, tender chicken, and a good-quality balsamic vinegar.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to give each piece plenty of space so that it can brown evenly. 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 ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help to prevent foodborne illness.
  • Let the chicken rest before slicing: After cooking the chicken, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Balsamic chicken and garden medley can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted potatoes, rice, or pasta. You can also add a salad or some crusty bread to complete the meal.

Conclusion:
