Hereâs a quick and delicious way to make ordinary chicken breasts elegant. The fruity sauce also livens up roasted pork and turkey.Susan Cortesi, Northbrook, IL Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each) |
1-1/4 teaspoons salt, divided |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 cup cranberry juice |
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar |
1/4 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce |
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot |
3 tablespoons butter |
Directions:
1. Sprinkle chicken with 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper. In a large skillet, brown chicken in oil on both sides. Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 425° for 12-15 minutes or until a thermometer reads 170°.
2. Add the cranberry juice, vinegar, cranberry sauce and shallot to the skillet, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced to about 1/2 cup. Stir in butter and remaining salt until butter is melted. Serve with chicken. Yield: 4 servings.
