Ingredients

Units Scale

Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Cherry-Wine Pan Sauce:

  • 1 cup fresh cherries, pitted and halved
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Make the Cherry-Wine Pan Sauce: In the same skillet, add cherries, red wine, chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly and the cherries are softened, about 5-6 minutes.
  4. Finish the Dish: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, turning to coat them in the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through.
  5. Serve: Plate the chicken breasts and spoon the cherry-wine pan sauce over the top. Enjoy hot!

Notes

  • You can substitute frozen cherries for fresh if they are not in season.
  • Adjust the sweetness of the sauce by adding more or less honey to suit your taste.
