Balsamic Cherry Rhubarb Chicken that is easy to make and unbelievable to eat! You won’t want to make chicken any other way after you and your family give this a try.
Now that the 4th is over, what plans do you have for July? You know to offset the sad feelings that the summer is half over. Eating good food always makes me feel happy! This Balsamic Cherry Rhubarb Chicken is sooo amazing you guys! We are giving our grill a rest and going all in on this chicken right now! We are talking the right amount of sweet flavor and tartness from the balsamic vinegar, cherries, and rhubarb.
I am not even joking when I say I want to eat this over and over again.
All the smiles came when my husband gave it a solid “10!”
This recipe is totally a dinner club kind of meal.
It is anxiously awaiting to be shared with your friends and family. I say to anyone bored with chicken dinners needs a little boost in their chicken cooking confidence with THIS meal because it will make you want to cook chicken in fun new ways more often!
If you are unable to find rhubarb don’t stress, it will be just fine without it. However, the rhubarb adds a subtle tartness to it that I absolutely love!
Reasons I love this Balsamic Cherry Rhubarb Chicken:
- It’s easy to prep. The most time consuming part is pitting the cherries. Otherwise, you just mix the cherries, rhubarb, garlic, and the balsamic vinegar together and pour over the chicken and it’s ready to go in the oven.
- Kids love it too! If they are not fans of rhubarb it’s easy to shove aside the rhubarb and top their chicken only with the cherries.
- The flavor is incredible. It has just the right amount of sweetness + tartness to make you want more. Cherries and rhubarb with chicken, who knew?! It’s nothing short of amazing!
- Even my husband loved it! He’s a total steak guy through and through, but when I see him go back for seconds when I serve chicken I know I did something right!
