Recipe by Chef Mike Reining, host of the Radio Kitchen. This dish has a long-cooked taste, but is actually something you can whip up in about 25 minutes. Since vinegar and wine are not a great combination, I recommend a dark beer or even a stout to enjoy with this dish.
 
Ingredients
  1/2  pound pearl onions -- blanched and peeled  
  2  tablespoons canola oil  
  2  teaspoons unsalted butter  
  6   boneless, skinless chicken breasts  
  2/3  cup white wine vinegar  
  1/2  cup white wine  
  1 1/3  cup chicken stock  
  2/3  cup tomatoes -- cut into medium dice  
  10   fresh basil leaves  
  10   new potatoes -- cut into medium dice  
  1  10 ounce can artichoke hearts -- canned in water  
  1/3  cup mushrooms  
  2  tablespoons corn starch  
 
Instructions
 
  1. Seaon the chicken with salt and pepper. Then, in a large skillet, brown chicken in clarified butter. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pan, to a warm platter. Pour off excess fat.

 
  2. Add the onions, vinegar and wine to the saute pan and cook over medium-hing heat until reduced by half.

 
  3. Add stock, vegetables, and basil. Bring to a boil. Then return to a simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes.

 
  4. In small bowl or measuring cup, make a slurry by combining the cornstarch with about 2 tablespoons of water. Still until all the lumps are gone.

 
  5. While the vegetable liquid is simmering, add a bit of the slurry to the pan. Keep adding until the desired thickness is achieved. Add the chicken to allow to heat through. Serve.
