This is based on a recipe from Diane Kochilas' book, Against the Grain, a cookbook featuring good carb Mediterranean recipes. My version differs in that I used a George Foreman grill for cooking the chicken.

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 cup yellow onion, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, slivered
1/2 cup tomato puree
1/2 cup chicken broth or 1/2 cup water
4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons honey
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat an electric grill for high heat. When hot, brush the cooking surfaces with olive oil or use nonstick cooking spray. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, add to grill and cook until lightly browned, in two batches, if necessary. Remove chicken from grill and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, add the onions and garlic, and cook on low heat until wilted, about 6 to 7 minutes. Add the tomato puree and broth and bring to a boil.
  • Transfer the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is tender. Remove the chicken breasts to a platter and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm.
  • Whisk together the vinegar and honey in a small bowl and pour into the pan, stirring. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, until the sauce is reduced to about 1/2 cup. Drizzle the sauce over the chicken and garnish with chopped parsley.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup thinly sliced red onion
4 garlic cloves, slivered
1/2 cup pureed fresh or canned tomatoes
1/2 cup chicken broth or water
4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons honey

Steps:

  • Heat oil in non stick skillet over high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper; add to pan and saute, turning once to brown. Remove chicken and set aside. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat from skillet. Reduce heat to low, add the onions and garlic, and cook until wilted, about 6 to 7 minutes. Add the tomato puree and broth. Using a wooden spoon, scrape bottom of skillet to gather bits from bottom of pan. Transfer chicken breasts back to pan, cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until chicken is tender. Remove the chicken to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm. Whisk together the vinegar and honey in a small bowl and pour into the pan, stirring. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes until sauce is reduced to about 1/2 cup. Drizzle sauce over chicken and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken breasts. For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. This helps them cook evenly and reduces the cooking time.
  • Marinate the chicken breasts for at least 30 minutes. This helps the chicken absorb the flavors of the marinade and makes it more tender.
  • Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat. This helps to prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken breasts rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Balsamic honey glazed chicken breasts are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the glaze is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
