awesome balsamic marinade chicken
Been working on a few signature recipes for a local restaurant, and came up with this dish. Once the chicken is marinated, it’s a quick job to sauté it and have it on the table. Easy peasy. Your guests will think that you have been in the kitchen fussing all day. The trick is the type of balsamic, but we’ll talk more about that later. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

-
Step 1PREP/PREPARE

Step 2Gather your ingredients (Mise en Place).

Step 3Cut the chicken breast left to right.

Step 4Chef’s Note: This should give you two chicken breasts of 1/4 pound each.
-
Step 5Add the wine (or chicken stock), balsamic vinegar, and the garlic to a large bowl, and combine.
-
Step 6Chef’s Note: What made this dish is the type of balsamic vinegar. I tried several types. Run-of-mill balsamic was fairly good; however, when I tried some raspberry infused balsamic, it was a taste homerun. You might want to play around with different balsamic vinegars.
