Provided by CarolAT

Categories     Chicken Thigh & Leg

Time 55m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste with basil and garlic
2/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
5 lbs chicken thighs, and drumsticks
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • To make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the tomato paste, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, sugar, salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper and place on two, rimmed baking sheets. Bake for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat a gas grill to medium-high or prepare a charcoal fire.
  • Remove chicken from oven and cool for 5 minutes. If desired, remove the skin. Brush the chicken generously with the tomato-balsamic sauce.
  • Grill the chicken, turning and basting frequently until browned and cooked through, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will make a big difference in the taste of the dish.
  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar. A cheap balsamic vinegar will not have the same flavor or consistency as a good one.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent it from drying out.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will also help to prevent it from drying out.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
  • Serve the chicken with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Tomato balsamic chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet tomatoes, tangy balsamic vinegar, and tender chicken is sure to please everyone at the table. This dish is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. Simply shred the chicken and add it to the sauce. Serve over pasta, rice, or quinoa.
