These delicious, festive cranberry-topped chicken breasts are a delightfully easy alternative to turkey.<\/p>\n
Ingredients
\n 4 6-oz. chicken breast halves, boneless and without skin
\n 1 teaspoon dried thyme
\n 1\/4 teaspoon coarse salt
\n 1\/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
\n 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
\n 2 cups cranberries, fresh or frozen
\n 1\/4 cup maple syrup
\n 1\/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
\n 1\/2 teaspoon salt<\/p>\n
Preparation
\n 1. Pat the chicken breasts dry and sprinkle with thyme, coarse salt and pepper. Place a large saute pan over medium-high heat and drizzle with the olive oil. Place the chicken breasts in the pan and sear for about 2 minutes, then flip the chicken and reduce the heat to medium low. Cover the pan to cook the chicken all the way through, about 4 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the breasts.
\n 2. While the chicken cooks, combine the cranberries, maple syrup, rosemary and salt in a small saucepan and place over high heat. When the berries start to pop and boil, reduce to medium-low heat and stir frequently until all the berries are popped and the sauce is thick, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm.
\n 3. Serve each chicken breast with some of the sauce over the top.<\/p>\n
Serving Suggestion
\nThe tartness of the cranberries and flavor of the herbs will pair well with something sweet for dessert\u2014think a scoop of apple or pear cobbler or pieces of white chocolate.<\/p>\n
