Have you ever woken up in the morning after a lovely dinner and the amazing fragrance from the night before it still permeates your home? This happens every time I make balsamic chicken. As one of my favorite week -long meals, I usually make a double batch because the residues are so good for lunch and dinner. This is also one of my favorite recipes to make when a friend needs a meal. I marry the chicken and take the first step in cooking the chicken thighs. When I get home, I finish the meal on their stove so that they are fresh for them.
When shopping for ingredients, search for chicken and organic products. I love the fact that this recipe uses chicken thighs because even with rehearsal, the thighs remain wet. The flavors grow even further as they sit, so the residues can be even more delicious. Often we serve balsamic chicken with grilled vegetables and salad I made earlier a week. Some bread bread or gluten -free choice goes well with this dish to climb the delicious sauce.
Why do we love this balsamic chicken
This meal is rich in nutrients and part of a healthy meal plan. Chicken provides protein, vitamins B, iron, omega 3 fatty acids and phosphorus that provides food from head to finger. Our brain and nervous system, digestive system and endocrine system need a lot of energy and B vitamins in chicken that have been thrown from pastures are a good source. Protein in chicken helps to make and repair tissue. Some ways in which the body uses proteins are to build muscles and bones, to produce neurotransmitters for our nervous system and to produce new cells as the cells turn.
Mozzarella also provides significant nutrients. Dairy products are generally one of the most bioavailability of calcium sources, which are used to remember bone, along with phosphorus and magnesium. Calcium is also important for muscle contractions, it supports the work of the heart and the tissue of our skeletal muscles.
Tomatoes provide antioxidant protection against DNA damage, against high oxygen exposure to the lungs and against damage to free radicals in the lining of our blood vessels.
Garlic is a powerful antimicrobial, protecting our bodies from viruses and bacteria that enter our bodies from food, water or other people.
Balsamic chicken recipe
Ingredients:
¼ cup excellent virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons of coconut sugar
½ cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons of soup, coconut coconut or tamari (gluten -free soy sauce)
4 cloves garlic, minced
Freshly cut pepper
6 no bones, no chicken skin
4 ounces the whole Mozzarella Milk
2 Roma tomatoes
¼ bunch of fresh parsley or coriander
Instructions:
- Prepare the marinade by mixing olive oil, coconut sugar, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, garlic and pepper to try.
- Place the chicken thighs on a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the top. Marine the chicken in the fridge for 30 minutes until night, occasionally turning to redirect the marinade.
- When you are ready to cook the chicken, heat a large saucepan over medium heat. When the pan is hot, remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the extra sauce stand and place in the pan. Cook until browned on each side, about 5 minutes each, depending on the size of the thigh.
- While the chicken cooks, cut the mozzarella into 6 pieces and the tomatoes into 12 pieces. Cut the parsley or coriander.
- Once cooked, place the chicken on a clean plate. Pour the marinade into the pan and allow to boil over medium heat, stirring frequently, until reduced to a thick and rich glaze.
- Turn the heat under the pan to medium low, return the chicken to the pan and spoon a little glaze over each piece. Place a slice of mozzarella over each piece of chicken, followed by two slices of tomato. Place a lid on the pan and allow to warm until the mozzarella has melted. Top the chicken with chopped parsley or coriander and serve.
