This is originally a Passover recipe, but it works well for Thanksgiving too, just substitute flour or corn starch for the potato starch. This recipe also freezes well.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup dried bing cherry
1/2 cup dried cranberries
6 whole chicken breasts, cut in half
1/2 cup store-bought orange juice
1/2 cup sherry wine
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 teaspoons potato starch

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Place the dried fruit in a medium bowl filled with hot water and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Drain and set aside.
  • Lay the chicken pieces, skin side up, in an oblong baking pan.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the orange juice, sherry and brown suar.
  • Mix well, then stir in the dried cherries and cranberries and potato starch.
  • Stir together, making sure the potato starch is dissolved.
  • Pour the sauce over the chicken pieces and bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes.
  • Baste and bake 30 to 40 more minutes, covering the baking pan with aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes.
  • The chicken should look a little crispy on top, and the sauce should begin to thicken.
  • If the sauce gets too thick, add about 1/4 cup orange juice or water during the last 15 minutes of baking.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really oily. I think I might have added too much oil.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was amazing. I would recommend cooking the chicken for a shorter amount of time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more heat.

The chicken was so tender and juicy, and the sauce was perfectly balanced. I will definitely be making this again.
