Raspberry Vinegar Chicken Breasts Recipes

Steps:

• Remove excess fat from chicken breasts; place them in sealable plastic bag or non-aluminum bowl.
• Combine remaining ingredients; pour evenly over chicken breasts.
• Seal bag or cover bowl; marinate in refrigerator 4 hours or overnight.
• Turn occasionally.
• Remove chicken from marinade, reserving marinade.
• Arrange in one layer in greased 9x13-inch pan.
• Pierce skin in several places with sharp knife.
• Cover with foil.
• Bake at 350°F for 30-35 minutes, or until mostly cooked through; in the mean time, bring reserved marinade to a simmer in a small saucepan, simmering 15 minutes.
• After main cooking time, uncover chicken and baste with marinade every 5 minutes until chicken is cooked through, approx 15-20 minutes.
• For OAMC or freezing ahead, freeze this chicken, raw, in marinade -OR- freeze after cooking, making sure to include a portion of the cooking juices with each breast (keeps chicken moist while thawing).
• Serving suggestions: bed of rice or baby spinach; side of green salad with raspberry vinaigrette; mashed potatoes; steamed carrots or broccoli; sliced thin over a bed of peppered angel hair pasta.

Steps:

• Season the chicken with some salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot but not burning, add the chicken and sear for 3 minutes on each side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
• Using the same skillet, add the garlic and shallot and cook over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the chicken stock and wine and cook until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and lower the heat to a simmer. Return the chicken to the skillet, cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through, an additional 10 minutes. Add the raspberries, butter, balsamic vinegar and lemon zest, and continue cooking, uncovered, for 1 minute.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat the butter or margarine and oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and brown lightly on each side. Once the chicken breasts are cooked (the juices should run clear) remove them from the pan and set aside.
• Add the shallots and the chicken stock to the pan. Simmer for 3 minutes. Add the raspberry vinegar. Bring all to a boil and simmer, stirring, until the mixture thickens. Stir in the cream and return the chicken to the pan. Heat for 1 minute to warm the chicken, turning the chicken pieces to coat with the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• In small bowl, mix preserves, vinegar and liqueur; set aside.
• Between pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper, place each chicken breast smooth side down; gently pound with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle chicken on both sides with thyme, salt and pepper.
• In large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion in oil about 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened. Add chicken; cook 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, until no longer pink in center. Remove chicken to plate; cover to keep warm.
• Leave onion in skillet. Add preserves mixture; cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened. Spoon sauce over chicken. Top with raspberries.

Steps:

• Coat chicken with flour. Melt butter with oil in large skillet. Brown chicken, turning once. Add broth and vinegar to the skillet., Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 12-15 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. Remove chicken to serving platter and keep warm. Add cream to skillet. Bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Serve sauce with chicken.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Heat the butter and oil in a large saute pan or skillet and brown chicken a few pieces at a time.
• Transfer browned chicken to an ovenproof baking dish.
• To the remaining oil in the pan, add onion, garlic, and bay leaf, and cook gently for 1-2 minutes until onion is transparent.
• Add the vinegar and water and stir to loosen any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet; pour the sauce over the chicken, being sure that the onions are distributed evenly around the chicken pieces and lodge the bay leaf at the bottom.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until chicken is tender; turn chicken pieces once during baking.
• Transfer chicken pieces to serving dish.
• Remove fat from pan juices (I usually use a paper towel or lettuce leaf placed on the layer of fat for a few seconds) and pour over the chicken.
• Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
• Great with rice or noodles.
• MY NOTE: I put the chicken in skin side down first, then covered the baking dish with foil for the first 1/2 hour of cooking, then turned the chicken and removed the foil for the remainder of the cooking time.
