A very unique & tasty recipe! I used about 2 sprigs of fresh savory, but I think I'll add more next time. The unique combination of savory onion, garlic & mushroom sauce with the sweet berry sauce was very nice. I also used boneless skinless chicken thighs and baby bello mushrooms. Oh, and I didn't have a hard cider on hand so I used hard lemonade. I think it was fine, but next time I'll plan ahead for the cider. :) Thanks for sharing your recipe, Queen Dana! Made & enjoyed for ZWT-6 Team Xtra Hot Dishes!

This is based on Mark Bittman's "Chicken with cranberries and mushrooms" from his "Best Recipes in the World" cookbook. My husband made this, and it was adapted due to ingredients that we had on hand. You can use chicken breast instead of thighs. Sorry about the lack of a photo, we thought it smelled so good that we devoured it before thinking about the camera!
