Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best.
  • Use fresh cranberries: Dried cranberries can be used, but fresh cranberries will give the dish a brighter, tarter flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to give each piece enough space so that it can brown evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of sear.
  • Cook the chicken all the way through: Use a meat thermometer to make sure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through.
  • Add the cranberries and tarragon at the end: This will help to preserve their flavor and prevent them from becoming overcooked.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served hot, so make sure to serve it as soon as it is finished cooking.

Conclusion:

This chicken with dried cranberries and tarragon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the cranberries and tarragon add a bright, tarty flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
