This recipe makes a tasty glaze for juicy chicken breasts by mixing the richness of red wine with the sweetness of grapes. The balsamic vinegar gives it a sour taste, and the honey makes the flavors go well together. It's a fancy but easy dish that's great for a dinner party or a cozy night in.
Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Salt and pepper to taste. 2 cups red wine. 1 cup seedless red grapes. 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar. 2 tablespoons honey. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 tablespoon olive oil. Fresh thyme leaves for garnish.
Instructions: Before you start cooking, heat the oven to 375F 190C. Add salt and pepper to the chicken breasts. Put the red wine, grapes, balsamic vinegar, honey, and minced garlic in a small saucepan. Over medium heat, bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce is half as much as it was before. This should take about 15 to 20 minutes. In the meantime, heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a skillet that can go in the oven. It will take about 34 minutes per side for the chicken breasts to turn golden brown after you add them. Pour the sauce made from the reduced grape wine over the chicken breasts in the pan. Place the skillet in an oven that has already been heated up. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165F 75C. Take the pan out of the oven and let it rest for a few minutes after it's done. Add the grape-wine reduction sauce to the chicken breasts and serve them with fresh thyme leaves on top.
