ITALIAN BALSAMIC CHICKEN



Italian Balsamic Chicken image

I found this recipe in an Italian cookbook that my dad got a long time ago. It is delicious and looks like a lot of work, but is very easy to make! If you find the sauce too acidic or want it to be thicker, add some corn starch dissolved in water at towards the end and cook for a few minutes longer. If you have any leftovers, it tastes even better the next day. Preparation time does not include time to marinate.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 chicken thighs (bone-in or boneless is okay)
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons white vinegar
3/4 cup red wine
1 tablespoon butter
4 shallots, sliced thinly
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons fresh thyme (or dried, rehydrated in a little warm water)

Steps:

  • With a sharp knife, score the chicken through the skin (if skinless, just lightly score the outside). Rub with the garlic and place in a non-metal dish.
  • Pour the wine, white vinegar and salt/pepper to taste over the chicken. Marinate several hours or overnight.
  • Heat butter in a skillet. Add the shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes or until softened.
  • Remove the chicken from the dish, reserving the marinade. Place in the pan and cook over medium heat until lightly browned on all sides. Reduce heat to medium-low and add the marinade.
  • Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, adding more marinade if necessary. When chicken is tender, add in the balsamic and thyme, then cook 5 minutes longer. (If the sauce is too acidic or watery for your taste, dissolve a tablespoon or so of corn starch in a little water and add to the pan. Cook for 5-10 more minutes until thickened slightly.).
  • Transfer chicken to a serving platter. Serve hot with polenta, pasta or rice.

A delicious combination of chicken, pasta and tomatoes that can be served warm or chilled for a great meal on a warm summer day! This recipe may look a bit complicated, but I promise you--it is not. Chicken can be cooked on the stove or on a grill. It is great for large family gatherings and does not really need to be served with anything other than a good loaf of bread for sopping up the juices. I hope your family enjoys this as much as mine has.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pasta     Chicken

Time 3h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cloves garlic, minced
2 ounces fresh basil leaves
½ cup olive oil
½ cup balsamic vinegar
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
1 pound penne pasta
2 pints grape tomatoes, halved
¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Mince garlic cloves in food processor or blender. Add 1/3 of the basil leaves to the processor, and chop until fine. Pour in 1/2 cup of olive oil, and continue to process until mixture turns light yellow with flecks of basil. Add the balsamic vinegar; process just until combined.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top storage bag along with 1 tablespoon salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper, and the contents of the food processor. Squeeze air out of bag and seal. Allow chicken to marinate for 2 hours, or up to overnight, turning occasionally.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Brown chicken in a large skillet over large heat, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a large baking dish, and place in the oven until cooked through, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove chicken from oven, slice into 1/4 inch strips, and return to baking dish to absorb cooking juices. Keep warm.
  • While chicken is baking, bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Boil the pasta until cooked through, but still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain well. Stir the chicken and the juices from the baking dish into the hot pasta.
  • Thinly slice the remaining basil leaves, and place in a large serving bowl along with the tomatoes. Stir in 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Top basil and tomatoes with the hot pasta, sauce, and chicken; toss to combine.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best flavor, use high-quality balsamic vinegar. Look for one that is aged for at least 12 years and has a rich, complex flavor.
  • For the chicken, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. If using thighs, trim off any excess fat.
  • To prevent the chicken from drying out, cook it over medium heat and do not overcook it. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
  • If you don't have balsamic vinegar glaze, you can make your own by simmering balsamic vinegar with a little bit of honey or sugar until it thickens.
  • To add a pop of flavor, garnish the chicken with fresh herbs, such as basil, thyme, or rosemary.

Conclusion:

Italian Balsamic Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
