Pomegranate Glazed Chicken Recipe

Posted by Thomas Alan Gray Oct 26, 2009

I don't pretend to be a cook. Still, I can read, and I can follow a recipe.

But even though I followed the original recipe carefully, the dish sure didn't come out like the photo!

I mean, their glaze is a pretty, translucent red.

Mine was a deep, opaque purple!

Tasted good, though.

My wife, who is a terrific cook, suggested that the next time I make this, I should:

• Reduce the amount of glaze (there was far too much)
• Cook the carrots separately and then drizzle the glaze over at serving
• Serve a second vegetable, maybe peas, for color
• Consider "shake 'n' bake' chicken and making the glaze separately, as that was clearly what was done for the Crisco photo.

My wife, the terrific cook, felt that my adaptation of the recipe for two was correctly done, even though it comes out as purple as the Crisco version. She particularly liked that I reduced the salt by 75%. Pomegranate Glazed Chicken for Two
