Categories     Chicken

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, either pound it out thinly, or fillet the chicken
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 bay leaves
1/4 teaspoon herbes de provence (recipes for this spice mix are available on Recipezaar)
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine

Steps:

  • Mix the flour, salt and pepper in a shallow dish, and dredge the chicken in it.
  • Heat oil in large skillet and cook the chicken until brown on one side (about 3-4 min).
  • Turn the chicken and add the garlic.
  • Cook 3 minutes more, while stirring the garlic around.
  • Add the broth, vinegar, bay leaves, and herbs.
  • Cover tightly, reduce heat to med-low, cook for about 10 minutes, turning chicken a couple of times. (When you get to the end of this step, you have a choice...you can proceed and reduce the sauce, or you can stop now after ADDING THE TBSP OF BUTTER. This way, you have more sauce, which is the way my husband likes it.)
  • When chicken is done, remove from pan.
  • Bring heat back up to med.
  • ,and cook the pan juices for 7 minutes, uncovered.
  • Stir in butter and remove bay leaves.
  • Spoon sauce over the chicken.
  • I served white rice on the side, and spooned a bit of sauce over that, too.
  • Yum.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH SAGE



Chicken Breasts with Sage image

Categories     Sauce     Chicken     Side     Braise     Fall     Spring     Sage

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, butter, or a combination
2 garlic cloves, peeled and lightly crushed
20 or 30 fresh sage leaves or 3 or 4 fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs
4 chicken breast halves, preferably with wings attached
Salt and black pepper to taste
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup chicken stock, preferably homemade (page 160), or water
Chopped fresh parsley leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Put the oil in a deep skillet or flameproof casserole, preferably nonstick, with a lid. Turn the heat to medium-high and wait a minute or so, until the oil is hot. Add the garlic and half the sage, then the chicken, skin side down, and brown it well, rotating the pieces as necessary (you don't really have to brown the bone side); the process will take 5 to 10 minutes. Turn the meat browned side up and sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
  • Add the remaining sage, along with the 1/4 cup vinegar and the stock. Turn the heat down to low and cover; cook until the chicken is tender and no trace of blood remains near the bone, 15 minutes or so.
  • Transfer the chicken to a warm platter and, if the sauce is thin, raise the heat to high, stirring and reducing the sauce as necessary until it is thick and glossy, just a few minutes. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice. Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper. Spoon the sauce over the chicken, garnish, and serve.
  • Boneless Chicken Breasts with Sage
  • Start with 4 pieces of boneless breast, about 1 1/2 pounds. Add the garlic and sage (all at once) and brown the breasts well on both sides, adjusting the heat and rotating and turning the pieces as necessary until done, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a platter and add the 1/4 cup vinegar or lemon juice along with 1/4 cup water. Cook, stirring and scraping with a wooden spoon to incorporate any solids into the sauce. If you like, stir in 1 tablespoon butter at this point to enrich the sauce. Add the remaining vinegar or lemon juice, taste and adjust the seasoning, and serve.
  • Chicken Breasts with Mint
  • You can use this variation with either bone-in or boneless breasts. Substitute 1 cup chopped fresh mint leaves for the sage. Add half of them, along with a teaspoon of sugar, when you first turn the chicken breasts (after one side has been browned). Add the other half to the sauce after removing the chicken.

CHICKEN BREASTS AND GARLIC BALSAMIC VINEGAR



Chicken Breasts And Garlic Balsamic Vinegar image

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, easy, one pot, main course

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, about 1 1/2 pounds
3/4 pound small to medium-size mushrooms
2 tablespoons flour
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil
6 cloves garlic, peeled
4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup fresh or canned chicken broth
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Split each chicken breast lengthwise in half. Cut away and discard any thin membranes that may remain on the flesh.
  • Rinse the mushrooms; drain and pat dry.
  • Season the flour with salt and pepper and dredge the chicken breast halves in the mixture. Shake off excess flour.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy skillet and cook the chicken breasts until nicely browned on one side, about 3 minutes over moderately high heat. Add the garlic cloves.
  • Turn the chicken pieces and scatter the mushrooms over all. Continue cooking, shaking the skillet and redistributing the mushrooms so that they cook evenly. Cook about 3 minutes and add the balsamic vinegar and broth. Add the bay leaf and thyme.
  • Cover closely and cook over moderately low heat 10 minutes. Turn the pieces occasionally as they cook.
  • Transfer the pieces to a warm serving platter and cover with foil.
  • Let the sauce with the mushrooms cook, uncovered, over moderately high heat about 7 minutes. Swirl in the butter.

Tips:

  • Choose the right balsamic vinegar: A good quality balsamic vinegar will have a thick, syrupy consistency and a sweet and tangy flavor. Look for a vinegar that is at least 10 years old for the best flavor.
  • Use fresh sage: Fresh sage has a more intense flavor than dried sage, so it's best to use it in this recipe. If you don't have fresh sage, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried sage.
  • Sear the chicken breasts before baking: Searing the chicken breasts before baking will help to lock in the juices and flavor.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts are very easy to overcook, so it's important to cook them until they are just cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Allowing the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving will help to keep it juicy.

Conclusion:

This chicken breast with sage and balsamic vinegar is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The balsamic vinegar adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the chicken, while the sage adds a subtle herbaceous flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
