Sometimes dinner just feels like a task you have no interest in tackling. But when you have easy recipes like this in your back pocket, it seems less like a task and more like a pleasure! Cherry BBQ Chicken uses a BBQ you likely already have and pairs it with an excuse to go shopping for a high quality cherry jam. I was lucky enough to be gifted with some and I immediately thought of this delectable combo for its first opening.
Hello lover.
This dish comes together in 20 minutes so it’s pretty hassle free with delectable results. Sweet and tangy goodness is yours in a snap! The video shows you how to bring it all together and what the recipe should look like in different stages.

Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts (organic if possible)
- 2 tbsp cherry jam
- 2 tbsp your favorite BBQ sauce
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Heat grill pan to medium high heat.
- Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper. (Add your favorite spices if you like)
- Place into grill pan/skillet and let sear until a white line of "doneness" forms on the bottom. Then flip and wait for the same line to form on the other side with the sear.
- Place chicken into 8x8 pan and then into the oven for 10 minutes or until cooked thoroughly.
- While chicken is baking, make the BBQ sauce. Add 2 tbsp of the cherry jam and 2 tbsp of BBQ sauce in a small bowl and stir together.
- When chicken is done, brush the bbq sauce over the top of each chicken breast, allow to rest 3-5 minutes and serve.

Thanks so much!
This looks delicious. I wonder how it would be different flavors of jam. Cherry isn’t one I usually keep on hand. But I might have to get some. 🙂
You can swap out all kinds of jellies and jams for this one but it’s nice to have an excuse to buy one you don’t normally keep on hand. 😉
That sounds so tasty!!! I love a good chicken recipe.
Thanks so much! It is nice to have options, especially where chicken is concerned.
