Categories     Roasts

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 c balsamic vinegar
1/4 c fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
1/4 c dijon mustard (i used country dijon because that's what i had - i'm sure any kind would be fine.)
3 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
1 tsp freshly ground pepper
1/2 c olive oil
1 chicken, cut up (i actually used 2 breasts and 8 thighs because that's what my family likes.)
1 Tbsp flat leaf parsley, chopped (i just sprinkled dry parsley flakes on the chicken before cooking))
1 tsp grated lemon zest (i omitted this)

Steps:

  • 1. Place chicken pieces in large baking pan. Be sure not to over-crowd the chicken.
  • 2. Whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper. Then whisk in the oil. Pour over the chicken pieces and coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 1 day turning every couple of hours.
  • 3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and roast uncovered for approximatly 45 minutes. Using tongs, transfer chicken to a serving platter and keep warm.
  • 4. Skim the fat off the top of the sauce that remains in the pan. Put the sauce in a sauce pan and cook on low to reduce to half - about 8 minutes. (I just put the roasting pan on top of the stove on low heat and reduced in the pan - anything not to dirty another pot.)
  • 5. Pour the sauce over the chicken and top with parsley and lemon zest.
  • 6. NOTE: I sprinkled parsley flakes on the chicken before roasting. And I didn't use the lemon zest because my family isn't a fan.

I'm not a huge fan of balsamic vinegar, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the glaze was delicious.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some leftover rotisserie chicken and it turned out great.

I didn't have any balsamic vinegar, so I used apple cider vinegar instead. It turned out great!

I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they turned out great. I also added a few cloves of garlic to the marinade.
