3/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 bay leaves

(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.

CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR



Chicken and Vegetables with Balsamic Vinegar image

Chicken with balsamic vinegar is heaven on a plate. This is a very easy dish that easily impresses. Serve with plain white rice.

Provided by Mirj2338

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 lb baby red potato, sliced into thirds
3 small shallots or 3 small onions, chopped
1/2 cup broth
2 leeks, well washed and cut into 2 inch long strips
5 carrots, peeled and cut into 2 inch long strips
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat.
  • Add the chicken and cook, turning, until golden brown on the outside and white throughout, about 10minutes.
  • Remove to a plate.
  • Add potatoes and shallots to skillet and cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 minutes, until the shallots are soft.
  • Stir in the broth, scraping and loosening the brown bits on the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the leeks, carrots and red pepper.
  • Heat to boiling.
  • Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for about 8 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
  • Stir in the garlic powder, salt, pepper and balsamic vinegar.
  • Heat to boiling.
  • Return the chicken to the pan, spoon the sauce over the chicken and cook over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes to heat through.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chicken breasts: Opt for organic or free-range chicken breasts for the best flavor and texture.
  • Pound the chicken breasts: Pounding the chicken breasts helps to tenderize them and ensure even cooking. If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy saucepan.
  • Marinate the chicken breasts: Marinating the chicken breasts in balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and herbs helps to infuse them with flavor. You can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat: Cooking the chicken breasts over medium heat helps to prevent them from drying out. Cover the skillet while cooking to help the chicken breasts cook evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken breasts should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit before you remove them from the skillet.
  • Let the chicken breasts rest before serving: Letting the chicken breasts rest for a few minutes before serving helps to redistribute the juices and prevent them from drying out.

Conclusion:

Chicken breasts and balsamic vinegar is a classic combination that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, these recipes have you covered. With a little planning and effort, you can create a delicious and memorable meal that everyone will enjoy.
