Maple Glazed Roast Chicken with Apples and Cranberries

Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat butter and olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until pan is hot. Sear chicken 2-3 minutes on both sides.

Remove pan from heat and arrange apples, cranberries, and rosemary sprigs around chicken. Roast chicken at 375F 25-30 minutes or until chicken registers 165F, apples are tender, and the cranberries are bursting.

While chicken bakes, make the sauce: In a small skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil then saute garlic in oil until 1 minute until just fragrant. Stir in vinegar, and syrup. Bring sauce to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer until reduced and thickened, about 5 minutes. Season sauce with salt and pepper to taste.

Once chicken is done, drizzle with maple sauce. Enjoy!
