ROASTED CHICKEN WITH BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Whisk the vinegar, mustard, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper in small bowl to blend. Combine the vinaigrette and chicken pieces in a large resealable plastic bag; seal the bag and toss to coat. Refrigerate, turning the chicken pieces occasionally, for at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Remove chicken from the bag and arrange the chicken pieces on a large greased baking dish. Roast until the chicken is just cooked through, about 1 hour. If your chicken browns too quickly, cover it with foil for the remaining cooking time. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Place the baking dish on a burner over medium-low heat. Whisk the chicken broth into the pan drippings, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the baking sheet with a wooden spoon and mixing them into the broth and pan drippings. Drizzle the pan drippings over the chicken. Sprinkle the lemon zest and parsley over the chicken, and serve.

Steps:

Cook until light brown, about 4 minutes. Flip the chicken, add the bell peppers, garlic, ginger and scallion whites and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir together the balsamic and brown sugar and add it to the skillet. Cook until the vinegar reduces a bit, about 2 minutes. Mix the cornstarch with 1/4 cup water and add it to the skillet. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
• Remove the rice from the pot and drain. Cut open the bag(s) and serve up. Spoon some of the chicken over the rice and garnish with the sliced scallion greens.
