Juicy and flavorful, this Chicken with Cherry Wine Sauce looks fancy, but it’s a breeze to make. Simply seasoned chicken breasts are pan-seared until golden, then oven-roasted until tender and juicy, and served with a rich cherry and red wine sauce. This is a summery dish you can make any time of year since frozen dark sweet cherries are available year-round. Just be sure to defrost them first.
A few tips: Use an ovenproof skillet to sear the chicken and then put that same skillet straight into the oven to finish cooking. If you do not have an ovenproof skillet, transfer the chicken to a baking dish. Use good-quality dry red wine to bring out the flavor of the cherries. Serve the dish on its own, with a big green salad and a glass of chilled red wine as a light dinner. Enjoy!
To make the Chicken with Cherry Wine Sauce, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
In a large cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons butter. Brown the chicken on both sides.
Transfer the chicken to the oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer reaches 165 °F, about 12-15 minutes.
In the meantime, in a small saucepan, combine wine and sugar and bring to a boil. Once at a boil, cook, uncovered, until the liquid is reduced by half, about 4-5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and whisk in 5 tablespoons butter, a tablespoon at a time, until well blended.
Stir in ½ cup pitted sweet cherries.
Serve the chicken with the cherry wine sauce spooned over it. Enjoy!
