Cherry Balsamic Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil and add salt. Add the rice to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chicken in one layer and season with the red pepper flakes and some salt and pepper. Cook until light brown, about 4 minutes. Flip the chicken, add the bell peppers, garlic, ginger and scallion whites and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir together the balsamic and brown sugar and add it to the skillet. Cook until the vinegar reduces a bit, about 2 minutes. Mix the cornstarch with 1/4 cup water and add it to the skillet. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
• Remove the rice from the pot and drain. Cut open the bag(s) and serve up. Spoon some of the chicken over the rice and garnish with the sliced scallion greens.

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 grill.
• In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat until hot.
• Add the shallots and saute until softened- about 3-4 minutes.
• Add the cherry preserves, balsamic vinegar, Italian seasonings, and the pepper.
• Reduce heat to medium low and cook until the mixture is reduced by one-fourth.
• About 6-8 minutes.
• Reserve 6 tbsp of glaze in small bowl.
• Lightly season chicken breasts with salt.
• Place chicken on grill.
• Cook, covered for 4 minutes per side.
• Brush one side with glaze.
• Let set for 1 minutes then flip and brush other side with glaze.
• Repeat until chicken is cooked through.

Steps:

• Combine flour, basil, salt and pepper in large resealable plastic bag; shake to mix well. Add chicken. Seal and shake to coat; set aside.
• Melt 2 Tablespoon of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts. Place onion around the edges of chicken. Cook chicken for 4 minutes per side to lightly brown; stir onion occasionally.
• Pour broth and vinegar around chicken. Add cherries to pan. Cover; reduce heat and simmer 4 minutes until no longer pink. Remove chicken to platter; cover to keep warm.
• Increase heat until mixture bubbles; cook 2 to 4 minutes to reduce liquid, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low; stir in remaining 1 Tablespoon butter until blended. Serve chicken with sauce.
