A vibrant, antioxidant-rich dinner that’s as beautiful as it is nourishing
This Pomegranate Glazed Chicken is the perfect harmony of sweet, tangy, and savory — a show-stopping meal that supports glowing skin, balanced hormones, and total-body vitality.
Juicy chicken breasts are seared to golden perfection, then coated in a glossy pomegranate-balsamic glaze that tastes as good as it looks. Served over light, lemony quinoa and finished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs and pomegranate arils, this dish is pure nourishment and elegance in every bite.
It’s quick enough for a weeknight, impressive enough for guests, and packed with antioxidants that your body (and taste buds) will love.
Happy Cooking!

Chef's Notes & More
Stacey Says:
If you want extra glaze (and who doesn’t?), double the pomegranate-balsamic mixture — it’s also divine drizzled over roasted Brussels sprouts or a side of mashed sweet potatoes. For even more antioxidants, sprinkle with pumpkin seeds or pistachios!
