Balsamic Chicken with Rosemary and Baked Potato Fries
I was going through my blog and I just realized that I forgot to post up two recipes and they were like a couple months back. Sorry!! *sheepish smile* Ok for a couple of weeks I was into balsamic vinegar, almost all the dishes I made has to have balsamic vinegar be it as a dressing, sauce or marinade. I had my first taste of this wonderful liquid at Italiannies where they serve freshly baked bread with herbed olive oil and balsamic vinegar, so being the curious me I quickly went to the supermarket and got myself a bottle of balsamic vinegar not knowing what to do with it. But as always I attended a brief stint at the University of Google and found out that a true balsamic vinegar is sweet and not at all acidic, and a friend who is currently staying in Italy mentioned that balsamic vinegar are usually quite syrupy and very expensive, as they are dark, sweet vinegar aged for many years in wooden barrels in Italy. The longer it is aged, the sweeter, thicker and more expensive it becomes. So the ones available here are those that hasn?t been aged for long but they are still good to use in cooking even though I feel kinda ripped off . Read more about it here. Well now that we have learned more about balsamic vinegar, it?s time to use it in our cooking as shown in the recipe below    Serves 2 You Need 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cleaned and pat dry 1-1/2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, minced, or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary 4 shallots, minced 3/4 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 2-3 medium sized Russet potatoes, unpeeled and scrubbed then cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick How To 1.
