Chicken with balsamic vinegar is a traditional dish that originated in Northern Italy. When cooking chicken with balsamic vinegar, it is recommended that you use a high-quality, aged balsamic vinegar. Each balsamic vinegar has a distinctive taste, so try a few out with olive oil and bread or in salads before picking one to keep in your home for cooking. Chicken with balsamic vinegar is an easy meal that is perfect for a romantic evening or dinner with friends, especially when served with a crisp salad, wild rice and a glass of dry white wine.
Instructions
1. Make slices in the tops of the chicken thighs in a cross pattern with a sharp knife. Brush the chicken with the garlic and place in a glass baking dish.
2. Pour the wine and white wine vinegar over the chicken and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
3. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and reserve the marinade.
4. Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 2 minutes.
5. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes. Turn over and cook for 2-3 minutes or until brown. Reduce the heat to low and add the marinade. Cover and simmer for 18-22 minutes.
6. Add the balsamic vinegar and thyme to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
7. Transfer the chicken to a large serving platter and drizzle the marinade over the top. Serve immediately.
