Bravo Balsamic Chicken With Roasted Green Beans Herby Potatoes Recipes

BRAVO BALSAMIC CHICKEN WITH ROASTED GREEN BEANS & HERBY POTATOES

Steps:

• • Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Trim green beans if necessary. Pick rosemary leaves from stems; mince leaves until you have 1 tsp (2 tsp for 4).
• • Toss potatoes on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, half the garlic, half the Italian Seasoning (you'll use the rest later), salt, and pepper. (For 4 servings, spread potatoes out across entire sheet.) • Roast on top rack for 10 minutes (you'll add more to the sheet then).
• • Once potatoes have roasted 10 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Carefully toss green beans on empty side with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. (For 4 servings, leave potatoes roasting and toss green beans on a second sheet; roast on middle rack.) • Return to top rack until browned and tender, 12-15 minutes.
• • Meanwhile, pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with remaining Italian Seasoning, salt, and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. • Turn off heat; transfer chicken to a cutting board to rest.
• • Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for chicken over medium heat. Add minced rosemary and remaining garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Stir in vinegar; simmer until syrupy, 30 seconds. • Stir in stock concentrates, ¼ cup water, and ½ tsp sugar. (For 4 servings, use 1⁄3 cup water and 1 tsp sugar.) Simmer until thickened, 3-5 minutes. • Remove from heat and stir in 1 TBSP butter until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
• • Thinly slice chicken crosswise. • Divide chicken, green beans, and potatoes between plates. Drizzle chicken with sauce and serve.

BRAISED CHICKEN WITH GREEN BEANS, TOMATOES AND BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position; heat oven to 350 degrees. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat oil in nonreactive Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking; add chicken thighs skin-side down and cook without moving them until skin is crisped and well browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Using tongs, turn chicken pieces and brown on second side, about 5 minutes longer; transfer thighs to large plate.
• Pour off all but 1 teaspoon fat from pot. Add onion and tomato paste and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally and scraping bottom of pot with wooden spoon, until tomato paste begins to darken, about 4 minutes (if bottom of pot becomes very dark and sticky, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons water, juice from tomatoes or some of chicken broth).
• Add garlic and anchovy and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Stir in tomatoes, chicken broth, and wine, scraping up browned bits with wooden spoon.
• Add red pepper flakes, thyme, and bay.
• Remove and discard skin from chicken thighs, then submerge chicken bone-side up in liquid, adding any chicken juices accumulated on plate.
• Increase heat to high, bring to simmer, cover, then place pot in oven.
• After 30 minutes add green beans. Cook chicken for another 10 minutes or until done (when it offers no resistance when poked with tip of paring knife but meat still clings to bone).
• While chicken cooks, simmer balsamic vinegar in 8-inch nonreactive skillet over medium-high heat until thick, syrupy, and reduced to 1/4 cup, 3 to 5 minutes (begin measuring volume when vinegar begins to cling to sides of saucepan). Set aside.
• Using slotted spoon, transfer chicken to plate and tent with foil (I don't always tent it, too lazy); discard bay leaf.
• Bring liquid in Dutch oven to simmer over medium-high heat and cook until the beans are of the tenderness you like.
• Stir about 1/3 cup sauce into balsamic reduction to loosen, then stir mixture into sauce; adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
• Return chicken and accumulated juices to sauce, cook long enough to warm chicken, turning once or twice. Serve immediately.

HONEY BALSAMIC CHICKEN WITH GREEN BEANS, POTATOES & CHERRY TOMATOES RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, a tablespoon of olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, chili flakes, salt and pepper. Stir well to mix. Place chicken breast in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the top (from step above). Seal and toss the chicken to evenly coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes if chicken is thawed. Overnight is better. Next place the potatoes and cherry tomatoes in a casserole dish, drizzle the remaining olive oil over potatoes, season with salt and pepper and stir to coat. Put the green beans on top of the potatoes and the chicken on top of the green beans evenly spaced in the dished. Pour the marinade over the casserole dish. Place in 425 degree oven and back 30-45 minutes - depending on how much you have. Based the chicken breast with the pan juices. Use a folk to test the potatoes to be cooked soft enough and taste the green beans for tenderness. The chicken should have an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Allow the chicken to rest for 5-10 minutes. Spoon juices over the top and serve.
