Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups pomegranate juice
1 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
3 garlic cloves, smashed
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 teaspoons red-wine vinegar
4 bone-in chicken breast halves (12 to 14 ounces each)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees, with rack in top third. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil; set aside.
  • Make glaze: In a large skillet, combine juices, rosemary, garlic, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Boil over high heat until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 15 minutes, stirring and scraping down sides of skillet with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a liquid-measuring cup; stir in vinegar. Reserve cup glaze for serving.
  • Meanwhile, season chicken with salt and pepper. Place, skin side up, on prepared baking sheet; bake 15 minutes, then brush chicken with glaze. Continue baking, brushing with glaze every 5 minutes, until chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes (an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part, avoiding bone, should register 165 degrees). Let rest 5 minutes; drizzle with reserved glaze. Serve.

I've been making this recipe for years and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The chicken is always moist and flavorful, and the glaze is the perfect finishing touch.

This recipe was a disaster. The chicken was tough and the glaze was too sweet. I would not recommend this recipe.

I'm not a big fan of pomegranate, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The glaze was delicious and the chicken was cooked perfectly.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken was dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This was a great recipe. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked perfectly. The glaze was delicious and I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great. The glaze was a little too sweet for my taste, but that's easily adjusted. Overall, a great recipe.

I'm not usually a fan of chicken, but this dish changed my mind. The pomegranate glaze was incredible, and it really elevated the chicken. I'll definitely be making this again.
