Balsamic Chicken

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken escalopes (chicken breasts cut open)


• 200 g of smoked lardons


• A handful of shallots


• 150 ml balsamic vinegar


• 150ml water

• Prep time: 5 mins


• Cook time: around 30 mins

Instructions:

• In a frying pan, brown the lardons then put to one side


• Fry the shallots in the fat from the lardons and put to one side


• Sear the chicken in the remaining fat then remove from pan (I got bored of saying "put to one side")


• Pour the balsamic vinegar into the frying pan and cook on a low heat until it reduces by around 50%


• Add the water and pop in all the other ingredients


• Simmer on a low-to-medium heat until the chicken is cooked


• Serve with some plain rice
