SAUTEED CHICKEN WITH TOMATO, THYME & WHITE WINE VINEGAR

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 200 degrees.
• Slice each chicken breast in half to form thin cutlets (easier if frozen for 10-15 minutes).
• Season both sides of each cutlet with salt and pepper.
• Heat 2 teaspoons oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until smoking; place 4 cutlets in skillet and cook without moving them until browned, about 2 minutes.
• Flip cutlets and continue to cook until second sides are opaque, 15 to 20 seconds.
• Transfer to large heatproof plate.
• Add 2 teaspoons oil to now-empty skillet and repeat to cook remaining cutlets. Cover plate loosely with foil and transfer to oven to keep warm while making sauce.
• Remove skillet from burner. Add 2 teaspoons oil, shallot, and tomato paste to hot skillet; using residual heat, cook, stirring constantly until softened, about 30 seconds.
• Set skillet over medium-high heat and add chicken broth, vinegar, light brown sugar, and thyme; bring to simmer, scraping pan bottom to loosen browned bits.
• Simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup, 6 to 7 minutes.
• Remove from heat. Whisk in butter 1 tablespoon at a time. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper; serve immediately with cutlets.

CHICKEN IN VINEGAR

Steps:

• Sprinkle the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Melt the butter and olive oil in a saute pan and brown the chicken, a few pieces at a time. You're not cooking the chicken here, just making the skin crisp and giving it color and flavor. Five minutes per side is about right. Remove the chicken to a dish. Add the garlic and cook for 5 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the vinegar and boil down by half, about 10 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan, and pour in the stock. Add the tomato paste, tomatoes, bay leaf and thyme. Simmer, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked, about 30 minutes. Remove the chicken to a clean dish and keep warm. Strain the cooking liquid into a saucepan, pressing to get all the juices through, and whisk in the last spoonful of butter. Pour over the chicken. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve.

CHICKEN IN VINEGAR

Steps:

• Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet until foaming, then, a few pieces at a time, brown the chicken well on all sides. You're not cooking the chicken here; just making the skin crisp and giving it color, so 5 minutes per side is about right. Remove the chicken to a plate.
• Add the garlic to the pan and cook about 10 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the vinegar and boil to reduce by half, 10 to 15 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan. Add the tomatoes and tomato paste. Using a piece of kitchen twine, tie together the thyme, parsley, and bay leaf. Add the herb bundle to the chicken and simmer, uncovered, until the meat falls from the bone, about 30 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a dish, cover, and keep warm.
• Pour the stock into the pan juices and boil until thickened, about 10 minutes. Strain into a saucepan, and if it's still not concentrated enough for you liking, boil it down a little more. Whisk in the remaining tablespoon of butter. Season, and pour over the chicken. Serve with chopped parsley, sprinkled over, and with a bowl of roasted or mashed potatoes on the side.

SAUTEED CHICKEN WITH SHALLOTS AND WHITE WINE

Steps:

• Season the chicken with 1/2 tsp of the salt, the thyme, and 1/8 tsp of the pepper.
• Head the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. At the chicken, thickest side down, and cook until golden (about 5 minutes). Turn and cook until golden (3-4 minutes).
• Reduce the heat to very low, pour off the fat, and arrange the shallot, garlic, and tomatoes around the chicken. Cook for 1 minute. Add the wine or broth, cover, and cook until the breast juices run clear and a meat thermometer registers 170 degrees F (12-15 minutes).
• Remove the breasts to a platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Cook the remaining chicken, uncovered until the juices run clear and a meat thermometer registers 180 degrees F (8-10 minutes). Remove to the platter and cover.
• There should be about 1/2 cup of wine or broth mixture left in the skillet. If there's more, boil it down over high heat; or if there's less, stir in water, wine or broth to bring it up to 1/2 cup. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and stir in the butter, parsley, the remaining 1/4 tsp salt, and the remaining 1/8 tsp pepper. Pour over the chicken and serve.

CHICKEN SAUTé WITH WHITE WINE

Steps:

• Brown the chicken pieces in the butter, turning each piece to color evenly. When browned, season to taste with salt and pepper and add 1/2 to 3/4 cup white wine. Reduce heat and continue cooking until chicken is tender. You may cover the pan during part of the cooking time, which speeds the process, or cook uncovered. Any additional flavorings that you choose may be added during the cooking and the chicken pieces should be turned over once or twice to bathe them thoroughly in the flavorings and juices. When the chicken is tender and cooked, remove it to a hot platter. Rinse the pan with a little additional wine and let it cook down with the juices for a few minutes. Pour pan juices over the chicken and garnish with a little parsley or chives.
• Drink the same wine you used in the cooking: Pouilly Fuissé, Meursault, or White Pinot from California.
