Create a show-stopping Pomegranate Bourbon Glazed Chicken perfect for your next gathering or holiday meal. This recipe delivers a sticky, sweet, and tangy glaze that beautifully coats tender chicken.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup Pomegranate juice
  • 1/2 cup Bourbon
  • 1/4 cup Brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season them with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
  4. In the same skillet, combine the pomegranate juice, bourbon, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
  6. Simmer the glaze for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  7. Return the chicken to the skillet. Spoon the glaze over the chicken.
  8. Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, turning the chicken to coat it thoroughly in the glaze, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  9. Serve the chicken immediately, drizzling any extra glaze from the pan over the top.

Notes

  • For a thicker glaze, you can mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water and stir it into the simmering sauce during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  • This glaze pairs wonderfully with roasted root vegetables or a fresh green salad.
  • You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts; adjust cooking time as needed.
