Chicken In A Balsamic Dijon Sauce Recipes

BAKED BALSAMIC CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
• Line a baking dish with foil and baking / parchment paper.
• Mix together Sauce in a bowl.
• Place chicken in baking dish, skin side down for thighs and wings. Make sure the pan is big enough so the chicken is squished up next to each other (sauce may not reduce enough), but not so large that there is more than 4"/10 cm between every piece of chicken (sauce may reduce too much).
• Pour over Sauce. Bake 30 minutes. Turn chicken over, spoon over sauce.
• Bake 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. The Sauce should have thickened.
• Stand for 5 minutes, then spoon Sauce over chicken and serve.

BALSAMIC CHICKEN {EASY MARINADE}

Steps:

• Place chicken in a gallon size resealable bag (or you can use a bowl).
• In a mixing bowl whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
• Pour marinade over chicken in bag (or bowl). Seal bag while pressing out excess air.
• Rub marinade over chicken (I also like to twist and tie top of bag so marinade fully covers the chicken).
• Let marinade in fridge for 2 to 8 hours for breasts and 2 to 24 hours for thighs.
• Heat over medium-high heat to 400 degrees. Partway through heating don't forget to clean and oil grill grates (with a little vegetable oil or olive oil using tongs and a balled up paper towel).
• Remove chicken from marinade while shaking excess marinade off back into bag. Transfer to grill and cook covered about 5 to 8 minutes per side.
• Cook time varies based on thickness, check internal temperature of chicken in thickest portion to 165 degrees for doneness.
• Garnish with parsley if desired. Serve warm.

BALSAMIC CHICKEN

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.

CHICKEN IN A BALSAMIC DIJON SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. When pan is hot, add butter and melt. Add chicken breasts and cook 6 minutes. Turn and cook another 6 minutes. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
• Add onions to skillet and 5 minutes, scraping bits off bottom of pan, add mushrooms and cook until onions and mushrooms are tender.
• Add cream and vinegar, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 4 minutes. Stir in mustard, parsley, salt and pepper.
• Spoon over chicken breasts and serve.
• (I add the chicken back to the skillet with the juices and simmer about 10-15 minutes).
• This one is really tasty!

CHICKEN OR STEAK WITH BALSAMIC BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• For the BBQ sauce:
• Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan and stir until all the ingredients are incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Simmer over medium heat until reduced by 1/3, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• For the chicken or steak:
• Place a grill pan over medium heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Season the meat with salt and pepper. Lightly coat with some of the BBQ sauce using a pastry brush. Place the meat on the grill. Place the remaining BBQ sauce, still in the small saucepan, over low heat or on the edge of a gas or charcoal grill and allow to gently simmer while the meat cooks.
• Cook the chicken about 8 minutes per side. Cook the steaks starting at about 4 minutes per side until a meat thermometer reads the desired temperature, 120 degrees F for medium rare, 135 degrees F for medium (about 6 minutes per side), 155 degrees F for well done (about 9 minutes per side). Continually brush the meat with BBQ sauce every few minutes. Remove the meat from the grill and let rest for at least 5 minutes. Serve with the heated BBQ sauce alongside.
• Alternately, the chicken can be baked in the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the chicken skin side up in a baking dish and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the baking dish from the oven and spoon the BBQ sauce all over the top of the chicken. Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes.

BALSAMIC CHICKEN AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• In a nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil.
• In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of the vinegar, the mustard and garlic.
• Add the chicken and coat both sides with the mixture.
• Transfer the chicken and mixture to the skillet; saute until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
• Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
• In the skillet, heat the remaining teaspoon of oil.
• Saute the mushrooms about a minute; add the broth/wine, thyme and remaining tablespoon of vinegar.
• Cook stirring until the mushrooms are deep brown, about 2 minutes longer.
• Serve the chicken, topped with the mushrooms.

ONION CHICKEN IN BALSAMIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and reduce heat to low. Allow onion to caramelize, stirring only enough to prevent sticking and to be sure that all sides are fully cooked. Add garlic and saute briefly.
• Increase heat to medium. Add chicken hindquarters to skillet and brown on both sides. Remove chicken, onion and garlic and place in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Combine the stock and vinegar. Deglaze the skillet with this mixture, then bring to a boil and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened. Pour mixture over chicken and stir in the sun dried tomatoes. Cover dish tightly and bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until chicken is done and juices run clear.
