Ingredients
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6-8 ounces each)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter divided (½ stick)
- ¼ red onion thinly sliced
- ½ cup dry red wine or water
- ½ cup water
- 1 cup cranberries fresh or frozen
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the chicken through the flour mixture.
- In a skillet set over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Brown the chicken on both sides. Remove to a plate and keep warm under foil.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Melt the remaining butter in the skillet, then add the onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until softened.
- Splash in the wine (or water) and bring it to a simmer for about 2 minutes, allowing it to reduce by half.
- Add the water, cranberries, brown sugar, and nutmeg to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries begin to burst.
- Return the chicken to the skillet. Cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes, basting occasionally with the sauce, until chicken is cooked through to 165°F.
Notes
- Storage: Store cranberry chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- To make this dish gluten-free, swap the all-purpose flour for gluten-free 1:1 flour.
- Chicken is fully cooked when it reaches 165°F at the thickest point.
