Ingredients

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 stick butter
12 (6-ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 Spanish onion, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 pints cherry tomatoes, quartered
6 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 cups red wine
2 teaspoons salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons parsley, chopped for garnish

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Put the vegetable oil and butter into a large skillet and place over high heat. Once the butter and oil are bubbling, add the chicken breasts to the skillet 4 at a time. Sear on each side until the chicken is golden, about 1 minute per side. Remove to a large baking dish. Repeat with the remaining breasts and set aside.

Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, toss to combine and then follow with the balsamic vinegar and red wine and season with salt and pepper. Bring up to a bubble then reduce the heat and let simmer for 10 minutes. [Simmering the wine in this mixture does not reduce the alcohol content substantially.]

Pour the balsamic mixture over the chicken and place the pan in the top half of the oven for 10 minutes, or until the chicken has just cooked through. Remove from the oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and set into a prepared chafer.

LOVE this dish...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The cherry tomatoes and onions make it.... But served over rice has worked well for us both times ive made it. I just used... cheap aldi's red wine and it was great. Im not a huge wine drinker anyway but the balsamic takes the strenth of the wine away. The one thing i notice that i did the second time is flip the chicken and let it sit for a few minutes before i serve it to let the wine flavoring distribute to the other side of the chicken vs just the bottom that sat in it while in the oven!!!!!Read more

Chiken and red wine???? I had my doubts.....
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I used a mild, good wine. It just did not taste good, we did not liket it at all. Maybe white wine would work better, red... wine is way to stong to convine with chicken, therefor no one serves them together!Read more

My husband & I don't care for most chicken dishes and I'm always looking for interesting ways to make a flavorful chicken... dish. I cut the recipe in half as there are only two of us. This is one of the best chicken breast recipes of all time. We LOVED it!!Read more
