CHICKEN WITH ROSEMARY AND BALSAMIC VINEGAR



Chicken With Rosemary and Balsamic Vinegar image

This is a great tasting chicken dish. If you don't have balsamic, use red wine vinegar. Can substitute any chicken part for the whole chicken mentioned in the recipe. I have even used boneless chicken breasts and baked at 350 for 50 minutes and that worked well. If the chicken gets a nice golden brown, you may not need to broil it. As usual, fresh rosemary works best. I use a bit less olive oil as well, use your judgement. The original recipe calls for 3 slices of pancetta atop each chicken half, but I don't think it added much to the final dish, you could subsitute bacon if desired. This is adapted from Bon Appetit, 1997. Hope you enjoy!

Tangy Chicken Salad image

Adapted from a recipe in the Penzeys Spices catalog. A good choice for anyone (like me) who isn't crazy about traditional mayonnaise-y chicken salad. It's especially good on toasted bread.

Provided by 2hot2handle

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups cubed cooked chicken
1/2 cup cubed or shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/4-1/2 cup creamy peppercorn or ranch salad dressing
1/3 cup chopped dill pickle (I used dill relish to make it easier)
3 tablespoons capers (optional)
2 -3 tablespoons spicy mustard, to taste
1/2-1 teaspoon pepper, to taste
1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/4-1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon pickle juice (omit if using dill relish, there's enough juice in it already)

Steps:

  • Put chicken in mixing bowl and add other ingredients to taste. Chill before serving. Great on toasted whole wheat bread!

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the chicken its delicious flavor, so make sure to use a flavorful one. The recipe in the article uses a marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary, garlic, and thyme.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This tangy rosemary chicken recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary, garlic, and thyme, then roasted until it is golden brown and cooked through. The chicken is served with a tangy rosemary sauce, which adds a delicious finishing touch. This recipe is sure to please everyone at your table.
