Cranberry Glazed Chicken

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"This is a great chicken recipe to use up any leftover cranberries from the holidays, although you might find yourself buying cranberries all year around just to make this dish! Serve this with cooked rice. Throw in some mushrooms or chopped green peppers with the sauce, if you like lots of sauce then double all ingredients."

Thanks for sharing another winner Kitten. This was simply wonderful and so quick and easy to make. We really enjoyed the moist tender chicken and the sauce. Oh the sauce...sweet, sour,tangy,tart and a little spicy. The spices blended beautifully with the cranberries truly enhancing the dish. I used frozen cranberries and chicken breasts and served mashed potatoes and tender green peas with it...Yummy! I will be making this again often.
