Preparation steps

For Peach Cranberry Sauce:

In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine water, sugar, lemon zest, cinnamon and ginger. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the cranberries and cook for 5 minutes or until the cranberries pop. Remove from heat.

Stir in the sliced peaches. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, stirring occasionally.

For Roast Chicken:

Preheat oven to 400º F.

Rinse chicken under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels.

Heat a dry skillet on the stove. Place a piece of butter under the skin of each chicken breast. Rub the chicken all over with olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Place chicken breasts skin side down in the hot pan. Do not move for 2 to 3 minutes, or until skin is golden brown and crusty.

Transfer chicken to a roasting pan and sprinkle with chopped onions. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. Remove chicken from oven and let rest for 5 minutes.

Divide chicken between plates and spoon relish over the top.
