Balsamic Chicken Breast Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place the potatoes on a baking sheet; drizzle olive oil over potatoes and season with salt and pepper.
• Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish. Pour 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar over the breasts; season with salt and pepper. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Place the potatoes in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes; place the dish with the chicken in the oven and cook both the potatoes an chicken another 20 minutes; flip both the potatoes and chicken; reduce the oven heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake another 20 minutes.
• Pour 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Cook until reduced to about 1/4 cup. Place the chicken breasts atop the potatoes; drizzle with the reduced balsamic vinegar to serve.

Steps:

• Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, chicken broth, sugar, garlic, and Italian seasoning in a bowl, place the chicken breasts in the marinade, and marinate for 10 minutes on each side.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and reserve the marinade. Place the chicken in the heated pan and cook until they start to brown and are no longer pink inside, about 7 minutes per side. Pour the marinade into the skillet, and cook until it thickens slightly, turning the chicken breasts over once or twice, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put the vegetable oil and butter into a large skillet and place over high heat. Once the butter and oil are bubbling, add the chicken breasts to the skillet 4 at a time. Sear on each side until the chicken is golden, about 1 minute per side. Remove to a large baking dish. Repeat with the remaining breasts and set aside.
• Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, toss to combine and then follow with the balsamic vinegar and red wine and season with salt and pepper. Bring up to a bubble then reduce the heat and let simmer for 10 minutes. [Simmering the wine in this mixture does not reduce the alcohol content substantially.]
• Pour the balsamic mixture over the chicken and place the pan in the top half of the oven for 10 minutes, or until the chicken has just cooked through. Remove from the oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and set into a prepared chafer.

Steps:

• Place a chicken breast into a large Ziploc bag, close the bag almost all the way, then pound the chicken to a thickness to 1/2-inch thick; repeat with remaining breasts.
• Mix together salt, pepper, flour, and sage.
• Dredge flattened breasts in a mixture; shake off excess flour.
• Melt together the olive oil and butter in a large wide sauté pan or large electric griddle (one with a cover) and brown the chicken over medium-high heat for 3 minutes on one side.
• Add the garlic and shallot then turn the chicken over and sprinkle with the mushrooms.
• Saute for an additional 3 minutes, stirring the mushrooms so that they will cook evenly.
• (You may need to cook the chicken one or two at a time if you don't have a large pan; if so, cook them all then add them all back into the pan for the final steps.) Stir in the balsamic vinegar, chicken broth, and wine.
• Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, basting with the sauce and turning the chicken once or twice.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
