Instructions:
-
Prepare Chicken: Begin by cutting the chicken into chunks, ensuring they are larger than bite-size but not overly large.
-
Season Flour Mixture: In a bowl, mix the flour with paprika, ground ginger, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, creating a flavorful coating for the chicken.
-
Coat Chicken: Thoroughly coat each chicken piece with the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
-
Fry Chicken: In a skillet or frying pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken pieces in a single layer, allowing them to brown on both sides. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Once browned, transfer the chicken to a separate plate.
-
Caramelize Onions: To the same skillet, add fresh oil if needed, then add the sliced onions. Constantly stir the onions until they caramelize, becoming golden brown and fragrant.
-
Deglaze with Vinegar: Carefully pour balsamic vinegar into the skillet, standing back to avoid the intense vapors. Stir the onions to incorporate the vinegar.
-
Add Water: Pour water into the skillet, allowing the mixture to simmer and reduce.
-
Create Onion Jam: Continue cooking the onion mixture until it reaches a jammy consistency, intensifying the flavors.
-
Sweeten with Brown Sugar: Stir in the remaining brown sugar, allowing it to dissolve and infuse the jam with sweetness.
-
Combine Chicken and Jam: Once the jam reaches the desired consistency, return the fried chicken pieces to the skillet. Stir well to coat the chicken with the savory-sweet onion jam, ensuring all pieces are heated through.
-
Serve: Plate the Chicken Breasts with Balsamic Onion Jam alongside some plain rice or couscous, allowing the flavors to harmonize and delight your senses.
