Yes, I know the holidays are over, but I had to come up with a recipe using the letter "H" and I was desperate. I couldn't think of anything else except this chicken recipe. It calls for cranberries and in case you haven't frozen some for use throughout the year you'll have to wait until next Thanksgiving/Christmas so you can buy them. I always pick up a few bags in November and stick them in the freezer. I love cranberries!
I know I've posted this recipe before and I was hoping I had a picture, but I don't. I've got to start remembering to take pictures whenever I prepare one of my favorite recipes. Then I'll always have pictures available.
Just pretend my Ginny dolls are making Holiday Cranberry Chicken in their Easy Bake Oven. (I hate to do a post without a picture.)
I know I originally found this recipe somewhere online, but I no longer remember where so I can give proper credit.
Holiday Cranberry Chicken
(I make it year round.)
8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/3 cup flour
1 t. salt
1/8 t. pepper
3 T butter
1 ½ cups whole cranberries, fresh or frozen
1 c. firmly packed brown sugar
¾ cup water
1 T flour
½ t. cinnamon
¼ t. salt
¼ t. allspice
¼ t. cloves
2 T. cider vinegar
Rinse chicken with cold water and pat dry with paper towels. In dish, combine flour, salt and pepper. Coat chicken with flour.
In large nonstick fry pan, melt butter over medium heat. (I use Pam instead.) Add chicken. Cook, turning once, to brown on both sides (about ten minutes). Remove chicken from pan and set aside. Add cranberries, brown sugar and water to pan drippings. Cook over medium heat until mixture comes to a full boil. In small bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Slowly stir into cranberry mixture. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens and comes to a full boil. Boil one minute; then reduce heat to low. Return chicken to skillet. Cook, turning once, until chicken is done and fork tender (10 to 15 minutes). Serves: 8; Cooking Time: 30 minutes.

So smart of you to freeze those cranberries. Too bad they're not available year round. Your recipe looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds heavenly, Miss Betty. They sell packaged frozen cranberries at Sprouts if anyone has one near!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a delicious link.
I will give this recipe a try as soon as I get a kitchen again!
Hugs and A+
This sounds good, Betty! I love your Ginny dolls. My older sister had a Ginny doll with a trunk full of clothes for her but by the time I came around Barbie was popular. I always wished I had a Ginny doll instead :)
ReplyDeleteGinny dolls! I'd forgotten about them! My friends and I spent many hours playing with them!
