Today's Recipe : Chicken Gone Pork
Ok the reason for the title is that this is a Chicken recipe that as you will see in my twist below I turned into a Pork recipe.
Tip for pork : Buy the small tenderloins and not the chop etc... they are a more tender and moist cut of pork and do not dry out like other cuts of pork tend to do.
Thyme & Garlic Chicken
4 medium skinless, boneless chicken breasts halves
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1. Pound chicken breasts to a 1/2 inch thickness. Set aside.
2. IN a small bowl combine garlic, thyme, salt and pepper. Rub mixture over one side of each chicken breast half. In a large skillet cook chicken in hot butter over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink, turning once. Transfer chicken to serving platter, keep warm.
3. Carefully add chicken broth to the skillet. Cook and stir for 1 min, scraping to loosen brown bits from the pan. Remove from heat. Stir in vinegar. Pour over chicken.

My twist(s):
1. I replaced the chicken breasts with thighs. They stay more tender and moist then breast. Cant get the white meat down but the dark meat goes down very well.
2. I replaced the chicken completely with pork tenderloin ( the small ones ). Then just cooked as above. The only other change I made to this is that I replaced half the chicken broth with white wine. Was YUM! I have used fresh lemon thyme with this instead of the dried and it was wonderful.
ENJOY!!
