Chicken Breasts with Balsamic Onion Jam

This was quite good. I used 1 large and 1 med-large size boneless/skinless chicken breast but kept the rest of the ingredients the same amount. I used 1/2 of a white onion and 1 Walla Walla sweet onion because that's what I had on hand. I used just under 1/2 tsp of paprika, ground ginger, and salt (as suggested by other reviewers), and 1 tsp of black pepper. After the sauce began to reduce, it didn't really get jammy, but I added the brown sugar anyway. I got sidetracked and didn't make the rice to be done at the same time as the main dish was, so after I tossed the chicken with the sauce and let it heat up, I turned the heat off and left the pan on the warm burner. About 15 minutes later, the sauce had become more jam-like in consistency. The onions were tender, but still had crunch and the sauce was very good imo. When I added the onions I also added garlic, as other reviewers suggested. I used 1 tsp of jarred minced. The chicken had a great flavor, the coating reminiscent of sweet and sour chicken and went great with the sauce. The chicken was very tender. I cooked everything on med-high heat from frying the chicken to the onions, and finishing the dish. Bf thought this was pretty good as well, but thought it was missing something. He thought maybe mushrooms would be nice. Maybe they would. There was a bit left over, I will snag it for my lunch tomorrow. :D Thanks again, Mirj for sharing a great recipe.

Very unique recipe and very flavorful. Hubby thought it was a bit to sweet, but if you like sweet and sour chicken you will love this. I used 1/3 tsp of Ginger, 1/4 tsp. pepper, 1/2 tsp of paprika and a dash of salt in the flour. The ginger gives it great flavor.
