Mom’s Savory Cranberry Chicken
Ingredients
- 1 Medium Onion Chopped & Sautéed
- – Or 1/4 Cup Dried Minced Onions
- 1 14-Ounce Can Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce
- 1/4 Cup Apricot Preserves
- 1/2 Cup Orange Juice
- 2 Tablespoons Light Soy Sauce
- 1/4 Teaspoon Granulated Garlic
- 1/4 Teaspoon Ground Ginger
- 1/8 Teaspoon Cinnamon
- 4 Frozen Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
Instructions
- Place all ingredients except chicken in a sauce pan. Combine and place over medium to medium high heat. Warm, but do not boil.
- Place chicken in baking dish and pour sauce over chicken. Cover and cook at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Uncover and baste, allowing some solids to remain on top of each chicken piece. Continue to cook until done, approximately another 45 to 55 minutes.
- Time depends on size and thickness of chicken pieces. Less time needed of course if chicken is not frozen; however, the dish comes out better if you start with frozen chicken breasts.
- Serve with rice. Sauce goes wonderful over the rice.
