With all of the holiday planning and eating, could you use and easy and healthy dinner? This Pomegranate Glazed Chicken is beautiful, tasty and easy.
This is a beautifully simple recipe. The tangy sweet taste of the pomegranate syrup infused with fresh rosemary creates a lovely red hued glaze that enlivens the grilled chicken.
Options for Pomegranate Glazed Chicken
I originally used my homemade Pomegranate Syrup for this, but you could use the Pomegranate Cranberry Jam. Or any pomegranate jelly, syrup or molasses.
If it too cold to grill outside, an indoor grill or even the broiler will help caramelize the syrup.
