Umami- is a Japanese word that means tasty, a “deliciousness” factor that is derived specifically from the detection of the natural amino acid, glutamic acid or glutamates common in meats, cheeses, broths, broths, and other protein-rich foods.
This is the new catchphrase or hot word for chefs in the industry. It’s been around for about a hundred years, but people are only now starting to really talk about it in food circles and starting to use it more in everyday cooking to really make a big impact on everyday meals. This is a dish that will do exactly that with the flavor of a cooked or breaded bacon.
Ingredients You’ll Need: Chicken 4 breasts – 4 ounces bacon, 1 large diced red bell 1 small diced onion, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes, 3 ounces olive oil or canola, 3/4 cup of white wine, one you would drink, 3 cans of chicken broth, 3 tablespoons of capers, 2 teaspoons of dried oregano, 1/4 cup of fresh chopped basil leaves, 1/2 cup of flour, salt and pepper to taste.
First you will cut the bacon and brown it in the pan. You will withdraw and reserve. Then you will season your chicken and then you will dredge your chicken in the flour and sauté your chicken in the pan with your oil. You will then remove the chicken and set aside and add the garlic to the pan over low heat and let it bloom. Add the rest of your flour if there is any left, and the wine and let it cook or lightly brown and then add the tomatoes. The acid in the tomatoes will remove any taste or flavor from the bottom of the pan. Next, you will add your bacon and all the other ingredients except the chicken to the skillet and simmer until the sauce is reduced by a quarter if you want a more liquid sauce, or by half if you prefer a thicker sauce. You will then add the chicken back to the plate and let it reheat to a good serving temperature to make sure the chicken is piping hot, and then serve with whatever pasta or bread you’d like. I hope you enjoy this dish, it is really good!
