Best Chicken With Cranberry Balsamic Sauce Recipes

CRANBERRY BALSAMIC CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°. In a large ovenproof skillet over medium high heat, heat olive oil. Add chicken skin side-down and cook until the skin is golden and crispy, about 4 minutes. Remove chicken from heat and place on plate, skin side-up.
• Melt butter in the same skillet then add cranberries, vinegar, garlic, brown sugar, and orange zest. Return chicken to skillet and scatter herbs all around. Simmer until the liquid begins to thicken and the cranberries start to soften, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Transfer to oven and cook until the chicken thighs are cooked through, 18 to 25 minutes more.
• Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400.
• Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the onion and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Season chicken on both sides with rosemary, salt and pepper. Turn heat up to medium-high, move the onions to the side and add the chicken to the skillet. Sear over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned.
• Add the cranberry sauce, balsamic vinegar and red wine (or chicken broth) to the pan and bring to a simmer. Scrape the pan to loosen any browned bits. Turn to coat the chicken breasts in the sauce.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook at 400 for 10-15 minutes, until the chicken breasts are cooked through. (I recommend using a meat thermometer.) Alternatively, you can continue cooking the chicken stovetop. Cover the skillet and reduce heat to medium low and cook for 10-15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
• Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Add the butter to the skillet, if using, and stir into the sauce until melted.
• Serve the chicken with onions and extra sauce drizzled on top.
