Cherry Balsamic Chicken
with Broccoli & Thyme-Roasted Potatoes
- Milk
Part sweet, part tangy, and all-around delicious—that’s the thick and super flavorful glaze we have in store for you to drizzle over these pork chops. The rich cherry and balsamic flavors balance each other out perfectly. We’ve kept the sides simple with roasted broccoli and potatoes to allow the meat and sauce to shine. And boy, do they steal the show.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust racks to middle and top positions and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Cut potatoes into 1⁄2-inch-thick wedges. Cut broccoli florets into bite-size pieces if necessary. Halve, peel, and thinly slice shallot.
• Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, thyme, and a big pinch of salt and pepper. • Roast on middle rack, tossing halfway through, until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
• While potatoes roast, pat pork dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. • Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board to rest for at least 5 minutes.
Swap in chicken or beef for pork. Cook chicken until cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side; or cook beef to desired doneness, 5-7 minutes per side.
• While pork cooks, toss broccoli on a second baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. • Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 12-15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for pork over medium heat. Add shallot; cook, stirring, until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. • Stir in vinegar; simmer until slightly reduced, 30-60 seconds. • Add jam and 1⁄3 cup water (1⁄2 cup for 4 servings). Cook until thickened, 3-5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and up to 1⁄2 tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4) to taste. • Turn off heat. Stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until melted. • Return pork to pan; turn to coat in sauce.
• Divide pork, potatoes, and broccoli between plates. Top pork with any remaining sauce and serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
10/10 the cherry balsamic shallot sauce was sooo good! I ended up making mashed potatoes instead of the roasted potatoes and the extra sauce was so good drizzled over the mashed potatoes!
The chicken was super! Broccoli and potato wedges were a great compliment to the chicken. Lots of fun to prepare!
Great portion. I had difficulty with the cherry jam. I thought I put the correct amount of water but turned out too watery and less of a jam. Everything else turned out great
Not fond of broccoli, but loved the chicken and potatoes. These quick chicken breast and pan sauce meals are a mainstay of our menus.
We prefer most vegetables steamed, rather than roasted, but otherwise followed the recipe. Nice flavors, not too sweet.
Roasted veg with seared, glazed chicken is always a good dinner combo. Super simple and delicious!
I was a little concerned about the cherry flavor with the chicken but it was actually really good.
Dice the potatoes instead of wedges and toss in a bowl to make seasoning easier.
I feel like there could be a more cherry flavor. It just tasted sweet and balsamic. I wanted pieces of cherries.
We lost our oven today, so air fried the potatoes, steamed the broccoli, and pan-fried the chicken. Not bad!
