Tips:
- Choose ripe cherries: The sweetness and flavor of the sauce depend on the quality of the cherries. Select plump, deep-colored cherries for the best results.
- Pit the cherries: Use a cherry pitter to remove the pits from the cherries. This will make it easier to eat the sauce and prevent the pits from getting stuck in your teeth.
- Use chicken breasts with the skin on: The skin helps to keep the chicken breasts moist and flavorful during cooking. You can remove the skin after cooking if desired.
- Sear the chicken breasts: Searing the chicken breasts in a hot skillet creates a golden brown crust and helps to lock in the juices.
- Use a flavorful cooking liquid: The cooking liquid adds flavor to the chicken breasts and the sauce. You can use chicken broth, white wine, or even apple juice.
- Simmer the chicken breasts: Simmering the chicken breasts in the cooking liquid helps to tenderize them and cook them through.
- Make the sauce: Combine the cherries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook until the sauce has thickened and the cherries have softened.
- Serve the chicken breasts with the sauce: Spoon the sauce over the chicken breasts and serve with your favorite side dishes.
Conclusion:
This recipe for chicken breasts with cherry sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken breasts are tender and flavorful, and the cherry sauce is sweet and tangy. Serve this dish with your favorite side dishes for a complete meal that everyone will enjoy.
