CHICKEN WITH ONIONS AND BALSAMIC VINEGAR
I came up with this recipe when I had some chicken and no idea what to make. I wanted to use balsamic vinegar to flavor the chicken and onions. My husband liked it well enough for me to write it down, so I have!

Steps:
- Cut each chicken breast half into three pieces. Heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add chicken, cover, and let brown while you cut the onion.
- Cut the onion into 1/4-1/2 inch wedges. Add them to the pan. Turn the chicken pieces over (they should be brown on the bottom side now). Cover and cook some more while chopping garlic.
- Chop the garlic coarsely and add to pan.
- Add salt and red pepper flakes to taste. Allow to cook a few minutes, then add the wine or cooking wine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Add balsamic vinegar and pimientos. Stir, cover, and cook at simmer for 20 minutes (while you cook the rice). There will be a broth left over to spoon over the chicken, onions, and rice.
- Cook the rice in the chicken stock. Consult the rice package for correct proportions.
- Serve the chicken over the rice.

Steps:
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper and heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Brown the chicken in batches, making sure not to crowd in the pan, on both sides. Transfer the pieces to a bowl as they're done.
- Spoon out all but 2 tbsp oil from the skillet. Add the onions and a large pinch of salt to the skillet and lower heat to medium. Cook 10 minutes, or until onions are soft and lightly colored. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the pan while onions cook to release any browned bits. Add the garlic and hot pepper and cook for 1 more minute. Pour in the vinegar and wine and bring to a simmer.
- Submerge the chicken pieces in the onions and vinegar and pour in any juices from the bowl. Cover and simmer 15 minutes. Turn the chicken pieces over and cook an additional 10 minutes. Spoon the chicken, onions and juices onto a large platter and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Toss the onions with 1/2 tablespoon of the oil on a large rimmed baking sheet. Arrange the chicken thighs on top and sprinkle them all over with the smoked paprika and salt and pepper. Drizzle the vinegar onto the baking sheet, then roast in the oven about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss the cherry tomatoes, olives, rosemary and garlic with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, a big pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Add the mixture to the baking sheet with the roasted chicken and continue to roast until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes more.
- Sprinkle with the parsley and serve the chicken with the vegetables and juices from the baking sheet.
CHICKEN IN VINEGAR
From the cookbook author Anne Willan, I learned her version of this classic recipe during my stay at her home in Burgundy. To tell the truth, I like it even better than sauteed chicken in wine, because the extra acid and lack of cream makes a tangier, less cloying dish.

Steps:
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet until foaming, then, a few pieces at a time, brown the chicken well on all sides. You're not cooking the chicken here; just making the skin crisp and giving it color, so 5 minutes per side is about right. Remove the chicken to a plate.
- Add the garlic to the pan and cook about 10 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the vinegar and boil to reduce by half, 10 to 15 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan. Add the tomatoes and tomato paste. Using a piece of kitchen twine, tie together the thyme, parsley, and bay leaf. Add the herb bundle to the chicken and simmer, uncovered, until the meat falls from the bone, about 30 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a dish, cover, and keep warm.
- Pour the stock into the pan juices and boil until thickened, about 10 minutes. Strain into a saucepan, and if it's still not concentrated enough for you liking, boil it down a little more. Whisk in the remaining tablespoon of butter. Season, and pour over the chicken. Serve with chopped parsley, sprinkled over, and with a bowl of roasted or mashed potatoes on the side.
CANE VINEGAR CHICKEN WITH PEARL ONIONS, ORANGE & SPINACH
One-pot dishes are all about planning well and laying out your prep in a smart sequential order. The beauty of this dish is the vinegar, which is malty, nutty, and nuanced. I love a Philippine cane vinegar called Datu Puti. Great stuff, super-inexpensive, and readily available at most Asian grocery stores.

Steps:
- Season the thighs with the salt and pepper.
- In a wide, heavy-bottomed pot that has a lid, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the thighs, skin side down, and let them cook without moving them around for 7 minutes. You are encouraging good caramelization of the skin and developing a ton of flavor in the process. After 7 minutes turn the thighs over and add the onions, paprika, and garlic to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes and then add the vinegar, being careful not to let it flame up.
- This is a good time to get a spatula and loosen up all of those pan drippings. The vinegar needs to cook down by half, and when it does, add the stock. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 20 minutes over low heat, remove the lid, and add the oranges, mint, and spinach. Stir lightly and serve immediately.

CHICKEN WITH VINEGAR
Jean-Georges Vongerichten learned how to make this recipe from the great Paul Bocuse, who added it to his repertoire while cooking for Eugenie Brazier, his teacher at La Mère Brazier in Lyon, France. Chicken with vinegar is one of the great poultry dishes from that area, where the chickens are considered by many to be the best in the world. Mr. Bocuse insisted that it was neither the amount of work nor the cost of ingredients that determined the worthiness of a dish, but how it tasted. The variations are numerous, but the piercing flavor of vinegar is so dominant that it matters little whether you use shallots or garlic, thyme or tarragon. One technical note: Most wine vinegar sold in the United States has an acidity level of 7 percent; many French vinegars are just 5 percent acidity. So it's best to cut strong vinegar with some water.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Set a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil; when it is hot, place chicken in the skillet, skin side down. Cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes, or until chicken is nicely browned. Turn and cook 3 minutes on the other side. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place skillet in the oven. Cook 15 to 20 minutes, or until almost done (juices will run clear, and there will be just a trace of pink near the bone). Remove chicken to an ovenproof platter. Place it in the oven; turn off the heat, and leave the door slightly ajar.
- Pour all but 2 tablespoons of the cooking juices out of the skillet (discard them). Place skillet over medium-high heat, and add shallots; sprinkle them with a little salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until tender, about 2 minutes. Add vinegar, and raise the heat to high. Cook a minute or two, or until the powerful acrid smell has subsided somewhat. Add 1/2 cup water, and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring, until the mixture is slightly reduced and somewhat thickened. Stir in butter, if desired.
- Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet, and turn the chicken in the sauce. Serve immediately.

VINEGAR-AND-GARLIC-BRAISED CHICKEN
A Filipino-inspired braise similar to adobo with the potent combination of vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and garlic that acts as both marinade and simmer sauce. Once the chicken is tender and the sauce reduces to a glossy consistency, it takes on a sweet and sour flavor that is delightful drizzled over a bowl of Coconut Rice and steamed baby bok choy.

Steps:
- Combine vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, bay leaves, garlic, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a bowl; add chicken and toss until coated with marinade. Cover bowl and refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
- Remove chicken (reserving marinade) and pat dry with paper towels. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium. Add half of chicken and cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn and brown other sides about 2 minutes more; transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining chicken.
- Return all chicken and any accumulated juices to Dutch oven; add reserved marinade, making sure liquid comes halfway up sides of chicken (you may need to nestle it). Bring to a simmer over high, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until chicken is cooked through and tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer chicken to a clean plate. Skim fat from liquid with a spoon and discard bay leaves. Increase heat to medium‐high and reduce liquid until syrupy (you should have about 1 cup). Spoon sauce over chicken and serve.

SKILLET CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS
This comforting one-pot dinner is reminiscent of a rich French onion soup, but made in less time and with lighter ingredients. Cooking the onions in a hot, dry pan forces them to release their moisture, so that they shrink and become silky and sweet in 30 minutes. Serve everything directly from the pan, with some crusty bread to soak up all the juices, or shred the chicken and pile it on top of buttered noodles. For something green, stir in some spinach to wilt at the end or serve alongside a simple green salad or roasted broccoli.

Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons vinegar, the honey, mustard, red-pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon salt; whisk until smooth. Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper, then add to the mixture, coating it well. Set aside at room temperature, stirring it once while you make the onions.
- Heat a 12-inch cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium-high until very hot, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then add the onions in an even layer. Season with salt, then cook, mostly undisturbed, for 4 minutes more, stirring every minute or so. Add the mushrooms, season with salt, and stir to combine. (It will look crowded, and that's OK.) Allow to cook mostly undisturbed until the mushrooms shrink and start to brown, about 4 minutes, stirring every minute or so.
- Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and allow the onions to cook until they start to color, stirring and lowering the heat as necessary to avoid burning, about 2 minutes. Push the onions and mushrooms to the edges of the skillet, then add the chicken pieces to the center. Pour any remaining marinade (there will be very little) over the onions and mushrooms. Cook undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes, then combine the chicken and vegetables and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes more. (Reduce the heat to medium if the onions look like they are burning at any point.)
- Add the remaining 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar, stirring and scraping up anything on the bottom of the skillet. Season to taste with salt.
- Remove from the heat and top with the parsley and cheese, if using. Serve with bread or pasta.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken pieces: Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks work best for this recipe as they stay moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Use a good quality vinegar: The type of vinegar you use will impact the flavor of the dish. For a milder flavor, use white wine vinegar or rice vinegar. For a more robust flavor, use red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Overcooking will make the chicken dry and tough.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
Conclusion:
Chicken with Vinegar and Onions is a simple but flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With just a few ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
