Pan-Seared Chicken with Cranberry-Thyme Reduction

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 shallot, finely chopped
• 1 cup fresh cranberries (or thawed frozen cranberries)
• 1/4 cup light red wine (preferably a light Burgundy Pinot Noir)
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 tsp honey (optional)
• Fresh thyme sprigs, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs, skin-side down, for about 5–6 minutes until the skin is crisp and golden. Flip and sear the other side for an additional 3 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the chopped shallot and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes.
4. Add the cranberries, red wine, balsamic vinegar, and honey (if using). Allow the mixture to simmer for 5–7 minutes until the cranberries soften and the sauce reduces to a compote-like consistency.
5. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon some of the cranberry-thyme reduction over the thighs. Let it simmer on low heat for a few minutes to meld the flavors.
6. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs and serve immediately.
7. Enjoy with a glass of Domaine Vincent Girardin Pommard VV 375mL 2022 for a harmonious, terroir-driven pairing.
