Looking for an easy gourmet dinner that feels homemade but special? This one skillet meal brings together crispy seared chicken thighs, roasted cherries, and a red wine glaze, all served over smooth, creamy polenta.

The chicken is pan seared until golden, then simmered with red wine, cherries, lemon, and garlic until the sauce thickens into something rich and savory. The polenta cooks low and slow in the background, perfect for soaking up the glaze.

This is one of our favorite Friday night meals, simple ingredients, deep flavor, and built to slow down and enjoy.
