Description:

The raspberry vinegar transforms this chicken dish into a remarkably savory delight. Serve the wonderful sauce with homemade mashed potatoes or pillowy gnocchi for a truly memorable meal.

Ingredients:

• 3 chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 10 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup raspberry vinegar
• 2 tomatoes, diced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
• 1 cup chicken stock
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Season the chicken: Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste.

2. Brown the chicken: In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts and brown them on both sides until they develop a golden crust.

3. Deglaze the pan: Pour off any excess fat from the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the minced garlic and 1/4 cup of raspberry vinegar. Allow the mixture to simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

4. Reduce the vinegar: After 20 minutes, pour in the remaining raspberry vinegar, stirring to incorporate any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Increase the heat to medium-high and allow the mixture to come to a boil. Continue boiling until the vinegar reduces to a thick glaze, approximately 5 minutes.

5. Add the tomatoes and herbs: Once the vinegar has reduced, add the diced tomatoes, dried thyme, chopped parsley, and chicken stock to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced by half and the flavors have melded together.

6. Season to taste: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

7. Serve: Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked chicken breasts to a warm serving platter.

8. Strain the sauce: Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the sauce from the skillet, pressing down on the garlic to extract as much flavor as possible.

9. Finish and serve: Spoon the strained sauce over the chicken breasts and serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

This Chicken with Raspberry Vinegar recipe is a delightful combination of savory and tangy flavors that is sure to impress your family and friends. Enjoy the rich sauce drizzled over tender chicken, creating a meal that is both elegant and comforting.
