Chicken Baked in Green Tomato and Jalapeno Jam

[heart_this] · Oct 29, 2009 · 26 Comments

Chicken Baked in Green Tomato and Jalapeno Jam

A while ago when I made the green tomato and jalapeno jam I had been planning on using it in a baked chicken dish but other things came up and I forgot about all it. I was rummaging through my fridge the other day when I came across a jar of the jam and I immediatly thought of making it. This is certainly a dead simple recipe; you just brush some of the green tomato and jalapeno jam with some grainy mustard mixed in onto the chicken and bake it. The jam coating helps keep the chicken nice and moist and tender while it bakes. The sweet, tangy, tart and spicy green tomato and jalapeno jam and mustard combo worked really well on the baked chicken adding a really nice set of complex and tasty flavours. I always like it when simple, effortless dishes turn out to be so good! I served the chicken in green tomato and jalapeno jam with acorn squash glazed in green tomato and jalapeno jam and some brussels sprouts with bacon, dried cranberries and chopped toasted pecans .

    Sounds awesome! Now here's my question. Other bloggers are coming out with cookbooks, but the person who really should have one is you! So when is it coming out?

    I've definitely got to make me some of that jam. I'm sure the flavors infused well into the chicken. That looks really good right now. Another you've got here, my friend.

    This is a great idea and would probably be good with other jams as marinade as well. I like that you used it in a veggie side dish as well (which also sounds fantastic!)

    Evie: I was using and I was perfectly happy with the Canon XSi(450D) for food photography. My ~need~ (cough) for newer gadgets got the better of me and I recently upgraded to a Canon 5D.

    I am consistently amazed that when I cruise tastespotting (about once a month) I only tend to click over to about four recipes out of six or eight pages – and one is ALWAYS from your blog.
