- 4 teaspoons Cooking Oil, Divided
- 2 whole Large Sweet Onions, Chopped
- 1/2 cups Firmly Packed Brown Sugar (or Honey)
- 1 cup Cooking Sherry Or Red Wine
- 1 Tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
- 1/4 cups Bourbon (Jim Beam Is Best)
- Please note the (*) for timingyou want the onions and chicken to get done at about the same time.
- Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper or seasoned salt.
- Make sure to get seasonings on both sides.
- Set aside for a moment.
- Cook onions in a large skillet over medium heat with 2 teaspoons of the oil for 15 minutes, or until very soft and starting to brown.
- Add brown sugar (see note below *), and cook until onions are caramelized, another 20 minutes or so.
- Make sure to stir occasionally.
- Add sherry/wine and cook until the mixture is soupy thick.
- Add balsamic vinegar and heat through then set pan aside.
- * At about the time you add the brown sugar to the onions, in another large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 teaspoons oil.
- Once hot add chicken and cook chicken until lightly browned on both sides, turning once.
- Reduce heat to medium/medium-low, pour bourbon over chicken, cover the skillet, and simmer for 20-30 minutes, turning a few times, until chicken is cooked through and bourbon has reduced.
- The onions and chicken should be done about the same time, but if the onions get done sooner, youll want to reheat them a little before serving.
- Pour onion relish over top of the chicken and serve with the juices.
- This is great over rice or quinoa (or a mix).
