A Farmer Focus Simple Recipe!
INGREDIENTS
-
2 Farmer Focus Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
-
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/2 tsp black pepper
-
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
-
3 tbsp butter
-
1 cup water
-
8-12 oz cranberries fresh or frozen
-
1/2 cup brown sugar
-
1/4 tsp nutmeg
-
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
-
2 sprigs fresh thyme
-
Salt to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
-
To start, open your package of Farmer Focus Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts and cut each piece in half lengthwise to create 4 evenly-sized filets, or use Farmer Focus Thin Sliced Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts.
-
In a shallow bowl, whisk together all of the dredge ingredients: flour, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Coat both sides of chicken filets with this mixture and set them aside on a plate.
-
In a large pan, melt the butter and then add the coated chicken filets. Lightly brown the chicken on both sides before removing and setting them aside.
-
In the same pan, add water, cranberries, brown sugar, nutmeg, and red wine vinegar. Cook the cranberry mixture over medium heat until the cranberries begin to burst.
-
Add the chicken filets back to the pan, along with the thyme sprigs, and simmer for 20-25 minutes. While it simmers, occasionally coat the chicken with the sauce and lightly smash the cranberries to release more flavor. Continue to cook until the chicken has reached 165˚F at its center and the sauce has reduced.
-
Garnish the finished filets with fresh thyme and serve with rice and your favorite sides.
