Cranberry Chicken


Bronze Post Medal for All Time! 216 Posts
I love chicken cooked with fruit. This is a recipe I came up with years ago when I was craving a savory, tangy, pretty dish for dinner.

Ingredients:

  • 2 chicken breasts, skin removed
  • 3/4 cup fresh cranberries
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp. ginger
  • a dash of cinnamon
  • sugar to taste*
  • salt and pepper to taste

*You need a little to cut the sharpness of the cranberries, but can make this less sweet than if you used cranberry sauce. I don't add much sugar. The orange juice adds a little sweetening. Add a little, then taste. If it needs more when it is done, you can add it then.

Directions:

Saute the onions and chicken in a little olive oil. When the chicken is nicely browned, add the remaining ingredients. Turn chicken so that it is breast side down. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a nice simmer and cover. Stir often. Cook until the chicken is done and the sauce thickened a little. This is very good served over rice.

This sounds very good Barb. My hubby would want jellied cranberry sauce on the side though, so he'd like the extra sweetening. I would love the chicken served with cornbread dressing, and in a pinch would settle for Stove Top Stuffing. A nice side of peas and carrots would turn it into a meal
fit for this Queen. :-)

Thanks for sharing. Pookarina

Got to be the best one I've seen. It's got the orange juice... However, I've used the bottled French Dressing and like the flavor, but did NOT leave out the orange juice.
