Oven-Roasted Chicken with Grapes

Serves4 + 1 lunch the next day

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts
  • ½ teaspoon five-spice powder or ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Fine sea salt, freshly ground black pepper

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 6 shallots, quartered
  • 6 sprigs thyme
  • 1 large bunch red grapes on the stem (about 12 ounces)
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°. Season chicken on both sides with five-spice powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Blot chicken with paper towels and add to skillet skin side down; add shallots. Cook chicken, undisturbed, until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes; turn shallots frequently to brown on all sides while chicken cooks. Turn breasts over and add thyme and grapes. Add vinegar and ¼ cup water to deglaze skillet. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Transfer skillet to oven and roast until chicken is cooked through and grapes just start to wrinkle, about 8 minutes. Serve chicken with roasted grapes and shallots alongside and any pan juices spooned over.
