Maple Cranberry Chicken Breasts

Submitted by s-t2384

"The basic recipe here is from a Food Network Canada show called Fixing Dinner, I have adjusted it slightly. It is a very yummy way to cook chicken. Kids like the sweetness. Serve with steamed broccoli and basmati or white rice. I have estimated the prep and cooking times, probably more than is actually needed."

My husband and I made this last night and it was really good! We liked the combined flavors of cranberries and garlic. The chicken turned out very moist and tender. The only thing we changed in the recipe was we used white pepper instead of black. While I enjoyed the sweet sauce, my kids complained that it was too sweet for them. I might use less maple syrup next time. Thanks for a great recipe!
