Chicken in Balsamic sauce is an excellent choice for those who are watching their weight or have to follow a special diet due to diabetes. Cooking the dish will not take you much time, but because of the rather long marinating of meat, it is worth starting to do it in advance.
It is necessary
- - 4 small chicken breasts without skin and bones;
- - 1 tbsp. a spoonful of paprika;
- - 1 tbsp. a spoonful of olive oil;
- - ½ teaspoon fresh chopped rosemary;
- - 2 finely chopped garlic cloves;
- - ¼ teaspoon of ground black pepper;
- - some vegetable oil to grease the baking dish;
- - ¼ glass of dry red wine or plain water;
- - 2 tbsp. tablespoons of balsamic vinegar;
- - a few sprigs of fresh rosemary for decoration.
Instructions
Step 1
Let's start preparing our dish. To get started, beat off the chicken fillet well with a culinary hammer so that the pieces become no more than 1 cm thick. The easiest way to do this is to place the meat in a tight plastic bag.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, rosemary, garlic, and black pepper. The resulting mixture should be pasty. With the resulting marinade, carefully grate the chicken fillet on all sides. Take out a suitable baking dish, brush with vegetable oil and gently lay out the prepared chicken breasts. Cover the dish with a lid or simply wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-6 hours to marinate.
Step 3
Then preheat the oven to 220 degrees. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and drizzle red wine over it. Place in oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. You can check the readiness of the meat with a cooking thermometer or simply by piercing the fillet: if the juice that flows out is clear, then the chicken is ready. In the process, you can turn the roasting meat once.
Step 4
Remove the finished fillet from the oven and immediately pour over the balsamic vinegar. Then, transfer the chicken to serving plates. Whisk the meat juice and balsamic vinegar gravy on the baking dish and pour over the meat before serving. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs if desired. Can be served at the table.
