Instructions
Roast Chicken with Apples and Cranberries
- Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat butter and olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until pan is hot. Sear chicken 2-3 minutes on both sides.
- Remove pan from heat and arrange apples, cranberries, and rosemary sprigs around chicken. Roast chicken at 375F for 25-30 minutes or until chicken registers 165F, apples are tender, and the cranberries are bursting.
Maple Glaze
- While chicken bakes, make the sauce: In a small skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil then saute garlic in oil until just fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in vinegar and syrup. Bring sauce to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer until reduced and thickened, about 5 minutes. Season sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once chicken is done, drizzle with maple sauce. Enjoy!
