One Pan Cherry Chicken Recipe


Description

This recipe is so easy to make because all you need is ONE large skillet and you’re good to go. I absolutely love one pan recipes because they not only make cooking easy, but cleaning a breeze as well.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsps Extra Virgin Olive Oil (divided)
  • 1 1/8 lbs Chicken Breast (boneless, skinless)
  • 2 cups Cherries (pitted, halved)
  • 1/3 cup Shallot (chopped)
  • 2 Garlic (clove, large, minced)
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 2 tbsps Fresh Oregano (chopped)
  • Sea Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat half of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for four to six minutes per side until golden brown. The chicken won’t be cooked through. Set it aside.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté the cherries and the shallot for two to three minutes until tender and juicy. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Add the remaining oil to the skillet and sauté the garlic for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add the broth and the lemon juice to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and then reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the sauce simmer for three to five minutes until slightly reduced.
  4. Return the chicken and cherries to the skillet, and simmer for an additional five to seven minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Garnish with oregano and enjoy!
