How to Make Chicken With Red Wine Reduction

  1. Pat chicken breasts dry and season generously with a combination of Tom Douglas's Rub with Love Chicken Rub and Emeril's Chicken Rub.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs.
  3. Dredge each chicken breast in the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully coated.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Sear the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  7. Add 1/4 cup finely chopped shallots and 2 cloves minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  8. Pour in 1 cup dry red wine (like Pinot Noir or Cabernet Sauvignon), scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  9. Bring the wine to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced by half and slightly thickened.
  10. Stir in 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar.
  11. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and coat them in the sauce.
  12. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice.
