I was pretty proud of myself last night. David and I were watching Top Chef while I made a balsamic and peach chicken.
So in honor of my pseudo-gourmet cooking skillzz, I wanted to share and have everyone post their favorite recipes and/or recent culinary accomplishments!
Balsamic and Peach Chicken
1lb chicken breasts, bonless and skinless
1 c balsamic vinegar
1/2 c olive oil
1 tsp honey
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 tbsp dijon mustard
2 or 3 ripe peaches, peeled and mashed (and hopefully not eaten, because I had the problem that I kept eating them while cutting them... lol)
2 large, fresh basil leaves
Preheat broiler to 375*. Whisk vinegar, honey, garlic powder, salt, pepper, mustard together. Add olive oil and basil, mix. Add mashed peaches, then pour mixture over chicken and marinate for 2 hours (I only did it for one because I ran out of time and was hungry). Spray broiler pan with non-stick cooking spray. Cook chicken under broiler for about 20 minutes, until done and juices run clear. While chicken is cooking, switch marinade into a sauce pot and bring to a boil. Once it boils, turn it down to a simmer and let it reduce pretty much until the chicken is done, stirring occasionally. After you plate the chicken, whisk the sauce (the oil will have separated) and spoon over the chicken. I served it with potatoes but it would probably be good with rice as well.
Share away!
