directions

  • Place above ingredients except meat, oil, wine, tomato, and maple syrup in a food processor or blender.
  • Start blender with cover, on low speed wait five-ten seconds or so, slowly add a portion of the wine.
  • You want the onion and garlic to chop but not to puree.
  • adding too much liquid at once will just stir it around.
  • Stop blender, add ½ of the total amount of tomatoes, start blender on slow speed for ten seconds or so, shorter for processor.
  • Just to whack them around not to puree them.
  • If you have Wine left over from the measurement above its ok.
  • Pour the mixture from the blender into bowl.
  • Add maple syrup, oils, and part of the wine.
  • Stir.
  • I haven't a measurement for the wine as this is to taste.
  • You do not want the other ingredients floating in wine, just part of the combined.
  • Place medallions in an oven glass so that they can lay flat and have a little room round them for the marinate Pour over the meat, turn them over a few times so the liquid can coat all the chicken.
  • Another way to accomplish I like is to place 1/3-1/2 of the medallions in a 2 or 3 large ziplock adding the liquid carefully remove extra air, zip them shut.
  • Carefully over your sink, just in case there is a leak, rotate the bags this will help to coat them.
  • If time allows place the meat mixture either in the bags on a plate, or the oven glass covered in refrig, for 1 hour.
  • Otherwise precede to baking instructions below Tightly cover with aluminum foil place in preheated 375 oven, for about 45min.
  • This will varies based on the thickness of the meat.
  • Remove aluminum foil cover, turn medallions over add remaining tomatoes some on top of meat, and bake for a additional 15min 20min uncovered till chicken appears, still moist rather caramel in color.
  • To serve place one serving on plate cover with tomato and marinate from the baking dish.
  • Also meat can be cubed and placed on salads. Or with pasta noodles. Conserving the baked marinate for a dressing.
  • We never have leftovers of this very long no matter what you do with them at this point.
  • Enjoy.
