CHICKEN WITH RED WINE REDUCTION



Chicken With Red Wine Reduction image

Pan seared chicken breasts with a red wine reduction sauce is one of those dishes that will have your friends and family applauding. It's amazing what a difference a simple sauce can make. Although it tastes like it came from a little corner bistro, it's extremely quick and simple. Original recipe: http://thegraystable.blogspot.com/2008/03/chicken-with-red-wine-reduction.html I did not use flour. Instead I substituted a Tom Douglas's Rub with Love chicken rub and Emeril's Chicken Rub along with my own Italian style bread crumbs. It came out amazing, just what I wanted.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
salt and black pepper
flour (for dredging)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup red wine
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Put a good handful of flour in a bowl, pie plate, or deep dinner plate, and keep it near the stove. Mix the sauce ingredients together and keep handy also.
  • Heat 2/3 of the butter and the olive oil in a large skillet (12") over medium heat. Test the oil/butter heat by flicking a little of the flour into it. If it sizzles and turns brown pretty quickly, it's ready to cook the chicken breasts. Dredge one of the chicken breasts in the flour, coating both sides well. Increase the heat of the pan to medium high when you place the first breast in the pan, dredge the next one and place in the pan, and so forth until all are in the pan. Cook for 3 or 4 minutes, then flip them in the same order as you placed them in the pan, and cook for 3 or 4 more minutes.
  • When done, move the chicken breasts to a plate and keep them warm in the oven. Turn heat to high, add the chicken stock, red wine, mustard mixture to the pan and boil. Be sure and stir it well, all the time scraping up the bits of chicken, flour mix, etc. from the bottom of the pan. Tilt the pan to one side, and mix in the remaining Tablespoon of butter. Spoon the sauce over the chicken breats and serve immediately.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 pound lean salt pork
1 cup peeled pearl onions
1/2 pound small whole mushrooms (cut into quarters if large)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 3-pound chicken, cut into serving pieces
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

3 cups red wine, like Burgundy or Cotes du Rhone
2 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried

Steps:

  • Cut the salt pork into small cubes, about 1/3 inch. Place in a skillet with the pearl onions, cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 2 minutes and drain.

Tips:

  • When searing the chicken, make sure the pan is hot enough so that the chicken gets a nice golden brown crust. This will help keep the chicken moist and flavorful.

  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add the baby spinach to the pan at the very end of cooking. This will help prevent the spinach from wilting too much.
  • Serve the chicken and spinach over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
