CHERRY-GLAZED CHICKEN



Cherry-Glazed Chicken image

Another TERRIFIC chicken recipe from Rodale's "Terrific Chicken: 100 Great Meals in Minutes". I haven't tried this one yet but because it's different from the couple of Cherry-Glazed Chicken recipes already posted here, I've decided to share it before making it. It's on my to-be-made-soon list. In the notes included with the recipe, is a recommendation to buy tart or sour pie cherries in a can because regular cherries will be too sweet. An alternative suggestion is to use 2 cups of frozen, unsweetened pitted tart cherries and 1/2 a cup of cherry juice in place of the can of cherries.

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 chicken breast halves
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon dried thyme
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (16 ounce) can pitted tart cherries, drained, 1/2 cup juice reserved
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon yellow mustard

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  • Rinse the chicken with cold running water and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Pour the milk into a shallow dish.
  • Mix the flour, thyme, salt and pepper together on a sheet of waxed paper or a shallow tray.
  • Dip each piece of chicken into the milk, then coat with the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess.
  • Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan over a medium-high heat and cook the chicken pieces for 5 minutes on each side or until golden-brown.
  • As they brown, transfer the chicken pieces to a 13x9-inch baking dish.
  • When all the chicken has been transferred to the baking dish, cover it with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  • THE CHERRY SAUCE: Combine the reserved cherry juice and both sugars in a small saucepan and bring to the boil over a medium heat. Stir in the mustard and cook for a further 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly. Stir in the cherries. (The sauce will continue to thicken once it bakes.).
  • After the chicken has baked for 30 minutes, uncover it, and spoon the hot cherry sauce over it.
  • Bake, uncovered for a further 15 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and the juices run clear.
  • Serve over rice or noodles with steamed green vegetables.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in the cherry glaze helps to infuse it with flavor and keep it moist during cooking.
  • Use a hot oven: Cooking the chicken at a high temperature helps to caramelize the glaze and create a crispy crust.
  • Glaze the chicken often: Basting the chicken with the glaze every few minutes helps to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

This spicy cherry glazed chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet and spicy flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it with your favorite sides for a complete meal that is sure to impress.
