Chicken goulash in balsamic vinegar

4 servings

60 minutes

Chicken goulash in balsamic vinegar is a refined dish of European cuisine that combines tender chicken fillet with the sweet and sour notes of balsamic vinegar. The origins of this recipe can be found in the traditions of Mediterranean gastronomy, where vinegar is used to enhance the flavor of meat. The chicken is first marinated to absorb a rich aroma of spices and then sautéed in butter to create an appetizing crust. The finishing touch is a delicate sour cream-based sauce that adds softness and harmony to the flavors. This goulash pairs perfectly with potato or rice side dishes, and its subtle balance between the acidity of vinegar and creamy texture makes it a worthy centerpiece for any lunch or dinner.
