BALSAMIC CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI

RECIPE: BALSAMIC CHICKEN & BROCCOLI

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

INGREDIENTS:
1 tb Oil, olive
2 cl Garlic, minced
1/2 sm Onion, thinly sliced and cut into thirds
2 tb Shallots
1/4 c Wine, white
2 Chicken breasts, cut into strips
3 tb Vinegar, balsamic
2 c Broccoli spears
1 c Mushrooms, sliced thick
1/3 c Chicken stock
1/4 ts Salt
Black Pepper

DIRECTIONS:
Heat the oil in a heavy pot. Add the garlic, onion, and
shallots, and cook until light golden. Keep the pot covered
between stirrings and use a tablespoon or so of the wine if
more liquid is needed. Add the strips of chicken and enough
of the wine to keep the meat from sticking to the pot. Cook
until the chicken is white all the way through, about 5 to
7 minutes (use more wine, if needed). Remove the chicken and
sauteed vegetables with a slotted spoon. Add the vinegar to
the pot, increase the heat, and stir with a wooden spoon,
scraping bits from the bottom, until the liquid is reduced
to about half its volume. Reduce the heat. Return the chicken
and sauteed vegetables to the pot, add the broccoli, mushrooms,
stock, remaining wine, and salt. Cook at a gentle simmer
until the broccoli turn bright green. Serve over pasta and
dust with pepper.
