ROSEMARY CHICKEN BREASTS, BROWN BUTTER AND BALSAMIC RAVIOLI, WARM SPINACH SALAD WITH PANCETTA AND SWEET VINAIGRETTE



Rosemary Chicken Breasts, Brown Butter and Balsamic Ravioli, Warm Spinach Salad with Pancetta and Sweet Vinaigrette image

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings of each dish

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast, 6 to 8 ounces each
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, eyeball it, just enough to coat chicken lightly
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 stems rosemary, leaves stripped and chopped, about 2 tablespoons
Salt and coarse black pepper
4 cloves garlic, cracked away from skin with a whack against the flat of your knife
1 package, 12 to 16 ounces, fresh ravioli, any flavor filling
3 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 handfuls grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley, a couple of handfuls
6 slices pancetta, chopped
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan
1 small shallot, finely chopped
2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, eyeball it
1 bunch, about 10 ounces flat-leaf spinach
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Coat chicken in balsamic vinegar, then olive oil. Season chicken with rosemary, salt and pepper and let stand 10 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil for ravioli. Salt water and drop ravioli in water. Cook 8 minutes or until raviolis expand, float to top of water, and are al dente.
  • Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken breasts and cracked garlic to the pan. Cook chicken 12 minutes, or until juices run clear, turning occasionally. The balsamic vinegar will produce a deep brown, sweet finish on the chicken as it cooks.
  • When the chicken is 2 or 3 minutes away from done, heat a second skillet over medium low to medium heat. To the second skillet, add butter to the pan and let it begin to brown.
  • Remove chicken from the first skillet and transfer to a warm platter. In a skillet over medium high heat and add the pancetta. Brown the pancetta bits, about 2 or 3 minutes, then transfer to paper towels to drain and return pan to heat, reducing heat to medium. Add oil and shallots to the pan and let the shallots saute 2 minutes.
  • When the butter for the ravioli has browned, add cooked ravioli to the pan and turn in butter to heat through. Add balsamic vinegar to the ravioli and cook a minute or 2 longer to reduce the vinegar and glaze the ravioli. The vinegar will become thick and syrup like. Add cheese, parsley, salt and pepper to the pasta and remove the pan from the heat.
  • To the sauteed shallots for the spinach salad, add sugar and cook sugar with shallots 1 minute. Add vinegar to the pan, scraping up pan drippings. Add spinach to the dressing and turn to wilt and coat it evenly in sweet vinaigrette. Add crisp pancetta to the salad.
  • Serve chicken along side ravioli and spinach salad, all on the same dinner plate.

CHICKEN BRAISED IN TWO VINEGARS



Chicken Braised in Two Vinegars image

In this satisfying weeknight recipe, boneless chicken thighs are cooked in best-quality balsamic and red wine vinegar and plenty of garlic, resulting in a pleasantly sticky agrodolce sauce. You could easily crisp some pancetta before the garlic hits the pan or stir in some anchovies right before you begin to braise. This dish can be made a day or two in advance and gently reheated with a splash of water or broth, but wait until right before serving to garnish it with the fresh herbs. (They'll lose their vibrant color otherwise.) Serve over polenta or rice pilaf.

Provided by Colu Henry

Categories     dinner, weekday, poultry, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
1/2 cup best-quality balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup best-quality red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon finely chopped Italian parsley (optional)
2 teaspoons finely chopped oregano (optional)
Flaky salt, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Season chicken well on both sides with salt and pepper. In a large sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until it starts to become fragrant and lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Begin cooking the chicken, making sure not to crowd the pan (you may need to do this in batches). Cook until the chicken is no longer pink on the outside and begins to lightly brown in spots, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. If it's not cooked through at this point, that's O.K.
  • If you've cooked the chicken in batches, add all of the meat and any residual juices back to the pan. Pour in the vinegars, add reserved garlic and bring to a simmer. Turn heat to medium-low, cover and allow the meat to continue to cook in the sauce, about 5 to 7 minutes more.
  • Uncover and toss chicken well in the vinegar sauce to coat. Cook chicken about 3 to 5 minutes more or until the sauce has reduced by about half and has thickened slightly. Sprinkle with parsley and oregano, if using, and season with flaky salt, if using. Serve in bowls over polenta or with rice pilaf and spoon the remaining sauce atop.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, organic chicken, flavorful pancetta, and tangy balsamic vinegar to create a truly delicious dish.
  • Season the chicken generously: Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt and pepper to season the chicken. This will help to develop its flavor and make it more succulent.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. If you cook it over high heat, it will brown too quickly and become tough.
  • Baste the chicken with the pancetta fat: This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful. You can also use a mixture of pancetta fat and balsamic vinegar to baste the chicken.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Chicken with pancetta and balsamic vinegar is a classic Italian dish that is both delicious and easy to make. By following these tips, you can create a restaurant-quality meal in your own kitchen. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad.
