There’s a rumor against roasting chicken breast; something along the lines of dry, stringy meat. I am here to tell you it is untrue. Roasting chicken breast is the simplest way to get moist meat. You’ll believe it once you try it. I took things a step further and nestled the meat, post-roast, in a sea of caramelized onions that are just-sweet and every bit as delicious as deeply burnished onions can be. A great duo they make.   Use code KOSHER for free shipping when you purchase Good Food.

Ingredients

Roasted Chicken Breast in Onion Jam

  • 1 and 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast (about 3 pieces)

  • 1 teaspoon sea salt, divided

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons oil, divided

  • 5 large onions, sliced

Directions

Prepare the Roasted Chicken Breast in Onion Jam

1.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Place chicken on a baking sheet; season with half a teaspoon salt and pepper. Rub two tablespoons oil over chicken; roast on the middle rack for 15 to 20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Set aside.

2.

Prepare the onion jam. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add remaining one-third cup oil. When oil begins to shimmer, add onions, stirring to break them up; cook until golden, 20 minutes. Add honey; increase heat to medium-high, and stir until honey melts, three to five minutes.

3.

Add garlic; cook until fragrant, one minute. Deglaze pan with balsamic vinegar, scraping up any stuck-on bits.

4.

Reduce heat to medium, season with remaining salt, and add boiling water. Give everything a nice stir; cook until thickened, three to five minutes. Nestle chicken breast over the bed of melt-in-your-mouth onions. Spoon onion jam over the chicken. Heat through and serve.

Yes, but it will be a little more dry.
