- In a large nonstick skillet coated with butter-flavored spray, cook chicken in 2 teaspoons oil over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until juices run clear. Remove and keep warm.
- In the same pan, cook shallots in remaining oil until tender. Stir in the broth, preserves, vinegar and rosemary. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 5-6 minutes or until thickened.

1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp pepper
Olive oil
1 cup beef broth
1 tbsp flour
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, divided
Salt & pepper
Couple of spoons of Alluring Oninon and Gaucho Jalapeno
Method:
Combine the ground round, salt, pepper, 1 tbsp Worcestershire in a large mixing bowl and form into 4 burger sized patties. Refrigerate.
Turn the heat up to medium and add the burgers. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until done all the way through. I like to increase the heat a little towards the end to get a nice thin crunchy layer on the outside.
Move the burgers to a plate and cover with foil.
Back to the pan, turn the heat back on to medium and add the beef broth, 1 tbsp Worcestershire, vinegar and flour. Whisk until bubbly and thickened. Salt and pepper to taste.
Put the steaks back in the pan with gravy, add the Alluring Caramelized Onion Jam and top off with some Bonbon Jalapenos.
