40 minThis unexpected combination brings together golden-browned chicken with fruit sweetness and cheese tang in every bite.
The pear puree cooks down into a luscious sauce while fresh cranberries burst with tartness. Crumbled feta adds a salty punch that ties it all together.
Serve it over fluffy brown rice with sliced scallions for a weeknight dinner that tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen.
Pro Tips
- Brown the chicken well before adding liquid to lock in juices and create rich pan flavors
- Use fresh or frozen cranberries (no need to thaw frozen ones)
- Try goat cheese instead of feta for a creamier finish
- Substitute white wine for water to add depth to the sauce
