Pan Grilled Chicken Breast With a Chocolate Cabernet Sauce
INGREDIENTS
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 t salt
- 1 t pepper
- 1/4 cup sweet and hot mustard
- 2 cups cabernet
- 3 ounces melted chocolate
- 1 t salt
- 1 t pepper
- 1 t garlic
- 1 t onion flake
DIRECTIONS
- Place chicken in a bowl with the balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and mustard. Toss well to coat.
- Place in a hot grill pan and cook 3 minutes each side, turning 4 times.
- While chicken is cooking, bring wine to a boil in a heavy pot and reduce by half.
- When wine is reduced, add chocolate and stir until melted.
- Add salt, pepper, garlic, and onion.
- Tips:
- This chicken recipe also works well as a party appetizer. Place the chicken breast strips on skewers, grill, and serve with cabernet sauce as a dip.
- The cabernet sauce also tastes great with stuffed chicken breasts. Slice the side of the breast to create a pocket and fill with cooked spinach and pine nuts.
- Since the sauce is rich, keep the sides simple and light, like green beans with a squeeze of lemon juice or fluffy white rice with a little butter.
