Tender chicken coated in flour, simmered with juicy cherries and fresh oranges for a sweet and tangy dish, perfect over rice or salad.
Ingredients:
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 (4 pound) whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour for dusting
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pitted dark cherries packed in water
  • 0.5 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 orange - with peel, quartered and thinly sliced
  • 0.5 cup slivered almonds, toasted
Instructions:
  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, coat with flour, and fry until golden brown, turning occasionally. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer for about 25 minutes until chicken is tender and juices run clear.
  • Transfer the chicken out of the skillet and reserve 1/4 cup of drippings. Return the skillet to medium heat and add cherries (save some cherry liquid). Sprinkle sugar, bring to a boil. Mix cornstarch with reserved cherry liquid and pour into the skillet. Cook until thickened, stirring gently.
  • Place orange slices and almonds into the skillet, followed by the chicken pieces. Drizzle sauce over the chicken, ensuring it is thoroughly coated. Simmer on low heat for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
