A note about serious food allergies

Sherry, Sherry, quite contrary, how do your cranberries grow? Turns out, we don't care so much how they grow, but we care quite a bit how their tartness combines with sweet sherry for a simple, yet lush sauce. It matches with a juicy chicken breast quite well, as well as the roasted acorn squash dusted in rosemary and Parmesan. Sherry can be contrary; we're sure you'll join our consensus that this meal is delicious.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Trim ends from acorn squash and carefully halve from pole to pole. Use a spoon to scoop out strings and seeds. Cut halves into 1/2" slices.

    Stem and finely chop rosemary.

    Pat chicken breasts dry, and season both sides with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper.

  2. 2

    Roast the Acorn Squash

    Place acorn squash on prepared baking sheet and toss with 1 Tbsp. olive oil, Parmesan, rosemary, and a pinch of salt. Massage oil into squash.

    Spread into a single layer. Roast in hot oven until tender, 18-23 minutes.

    While squash roasts, cook chicken.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Add chicken breasts to hot pan and cook until browned and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes per side.

    Remove chicken to a plate and tent with foil.

    Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    Return pan used to sear chicken to medium heat. Add sherry wine to hot pan and cook until liquid is reduced by half, 30-60 seconds.

    Stir in demi-glace and cranberry sauce until combined.

    Remove from burner and swirl in butter. Once butter is combined, add chicken to pan and flip to coat.
