Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 stick butter
12 (6-ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 Spanish onion, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 pints cherry tomatoes, quartered
6 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 cups red wine
2 teaspoons salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons parsley, chopped for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Put the vegetable oil and butter into a large skillet and place over high heat. Once the butter and oil are bubbling, add the chicken breasts to the skillet 4 at a time. Sear on each side until the chicken is golden, about 1 minute per side. Remove to a large baking dish. Repeat with the remaining breasts and set aside.
  • Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, toss to combine and then follow with the balsamic vinegar and red wine and season with salt and pepper. Bring up to a bubble then reduce the heat and let simmer for 10 minutes. [Simmering the wine in this mixture does not reduce the alcohol content substantially.]
  • Pour the balsamic mixture over the chicken and place the pan in the top half of the oven for 10 minutes, or until the chicken has just cooked through. Remove from the oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and set into a prepared chafer.

Tips:

  • To achieve a flavorful and evenly cooked chicken breast, it's recommended to use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • For a crispier chicken exterior, consider dredging it in flour before searing in a pan. This technique, known as pan-frying, creates a golden-brown crust.
  • To infuse the chicken with savory flavors, consider marinating it in a mixture of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, herbs, and spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Enhance the taste of the balsamic glaze by reducing it over medium heat until it thickens and becomes syrupy. This process concentrates the flavors and creates a rich, glossy sauce.
  • For a healthier version of the balsamic glaze, substitute honey or maple syrup for sugar. This alternative provides natural sweetness without compromising taste.

Conclusion:

Balsamic-glazed chicken breast is a versatile and delectable dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as an appetizer. With its tender and juicy chicken coated in a sweet and tangy glaze, this recipe offers a delightful combination of flavors and textures.
