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.

Tasty
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I agree with other reviewers who said the chicken needs longer than 10 minutes, more like 20 minutes. The taste was good; I... served it with rice. Next time, I'll make twice the sauce and add mushrooms. Overall good.Read more

Easy Great Dinner!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was very delicious, I added portobello mushrooms and let the glaze thicken longer than suggested... I also had to cut... the ingredients in 1/4 since 12 portions is a lot. It was really easy prep, cooking and clean up. AND it is actually a very healthy recipe, which is hard to find. Read more

Yummy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a wonderful alternative to 'boring chicken' dishes! I LOVE tomatoes that are roasted and my boyfriend and I eat them... ALL the time! This was such a nice change...delicioso! I added more garlic than the recipe called for and I used my favorite red wine because I believe in drinking what I eat! LOL... My teenage daughters gave this one a big thumbs up!Read more
