Cranberry Chicken

Cultural Context

Cranberry Chicken is a popular American dish, especially during the fall and winter months when cranberries are in season. The dish combines the tartness of cranberries with savory chicken, often served during holiday gatherings or family dinners. Its sweet and tangy flavor profile has led to various adaptations, including the use of different fruits or glazes, making it a versatile recipe enjoyed across the country.

4

Mix French Dressing, whole cranberry sauce, and dry onion soup mix together in a bowl. Pour this over the chicken.

Bake at 350°F for 60 minutes for thighs or approximately 40 minutes for boneless breasts, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

OPTIONAL: After removing the cooked chicken from the baking dish, pour the extra sauce into a saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer.

7

In a small bowl, stir together about 1/4 cup of water and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Drizzle the cornstarch slurry into the boiling sauce mixture, bring back to a gentle boil, and cook for approximately two minutes until slightly thickened. Serve this sauce on the side with the chicken.
