Chicken Recipes With Balsamic Vinaigrette

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:

• In a small bowl, combine vinegar, oil, honey, salt and mustard.
• Mix well with a whisk.
• Place chicken in a glass dish. Pour 4 tablespoons vinaigrette over chicken.
• Marinate 25 minutes in the refrigerator, turning once.
• Grill or saute' chicken breasts until done.
• Use balance of vinaigrette to drizzle on your dinner salad.

Steps:

• Whisk the vinegar, mustard, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper in small bowl to blend.
• Combine the vinaigrette and chicken pieces in a large resealable plastic bag; seal the bag and toss to coat.
• Refrigerate, turning the chicken pieces occasionally, for at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove chicken from the bag and arrange the chicken pieces on a large greased baking dish.
• Roast until the chicken is just cooked through, about 1 hour.
• If your chicken browns too quickly, cover it with foil for the remaining cooking time.
• Transfer the chicken to a serving platter.
• Place the baking dish on a burner over medium-low heat.
• Whisk the chicken broth into the pan drippings, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the baking sheet with a wooden spoon and mixing them into the broth and pan drippings.
• Drizzle the pan drippings over the chicken.
• Sprinkle the lemon zest and parsley over the chicken, and serve.

Steps:

• Combine the balsamic, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, rosemary sprigs, and garlic cloves, in a large, re-sealable plastic bag. Shake and squeeze the contents of the bag to dissolve the honey and the brown sugar. Add the chicken drumsticks to the bag and seal with as little air as possible in the bag. Place in the refrigerator and marinate for 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place the chicken drumsticks on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake until the skin is caramelized and very dark in spots, about 30 to 35 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the marinade in a small saucepan. Bring the marinade to a boil (in order to kill bacteria). Reduce the heat to simmer and cook over low heat until thick, about 15 minutes. Reserve.
• Use a pastry brush to brush some of the cooked marinade on the cooked chicken. Place the chicken on a serving platter. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and the chopped parsley.
• Cook's note: I like the rosemary and garlic flavors in the background. Brushing the cooked drumettes with the reduced marinade helps the flavors along. Also, re-moistening helps the parsley and the seeds to adhere.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the vinegar, oil, salt, pepper, herbes de Provence, and lemon juice in a bowl, whisking until emulsified.
