Balsamic fig chicken with hand-cut fries
Balsamic fig chicken is a delicious dish where chicken is marinated in a sweet and tangy balsamic fig sauce. The figs add a unique sweetness and depth of flavor to the dish. Hand-cut fries are simply fries that are made from fresh potatoes and cut by hand, giving them a rustic and crispy texture.
Ingredients
Balsamic Fig Chicken:
- 4 chicken breasts boneless, skinless, cut into bite-sized
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 cup dried figs chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil
Hand-Cut Fries:
- 4 large russet potatoes
- Salt
- Olive oil
Instructions
Balsamic Fig Chicken:
- In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar, chopped figs, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10-15 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Set aside.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are cooked through.
- Pour the balsamic fig sauce over the chicken and let it simmer for another 1-2 minutes.
- Serve the balsamic fig chicken hot with hand-cut fries on the side.
Hand-Cut Fries:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin strips to your desired size.
- Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Drain and pat the potatoes dry with a kitchen towel.
- Toss the potatoes with olive oil and spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Sprinkle with salt and bake for about 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the hand-cut fries hot alongside the balsamic fig chicken.
