Chicken with cranberry Dijon mustard sauce is a classic dish that combines sweet, tangy, and savory flavors in a rich and creamy sauce. The chicken is typically seared or roasted until cooked through, then simmered in a sauce made with fresh or frozen cranberries, Dijon mustard, chicken broth, and various herbs and spices. The resulting dish is a flavorful and versatile main course that can be served with a variety of side dishes, from mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables to rice or pasta.

CHICKEN WITH CRANBERRY-DIJON MUSTARD SAUCE
The cranberry- Dijon mustard sauce was originally a dip recipe found on oceanspray.com and switched to a sauce for chicken. Recipe #188835 is identical to the way I prepare homemade cranberry sauce. I try to keep a bag of frozen whole cranberries on hand for these type of recipes. Super easy for a weeknight meal.

Tips:
- Prep in advance: To save time during a busy weeknight, cut the chicken and prepare the sauce ingredients ahead of time, then store them separately in the refrigerator.
- Use a good quality dijon mustard: The flavor of the mustard is key in this dish, so don't skimp on quality. Look for a dijon mustard that is grainy and has a sharp, tangy flavor.
- Use a tart cranberry sauce: The cranberry sauce adds sweetness and acidity to the dish, helping to balance out the richness of the chicken and the dijon mustard. If you're using a store-bought cranberry sauce, be sure to choose one that is tart and not too sweet.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts are very lean and can easily become dry if overcooked. Cook them just until they are cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the chicken is still hot and juicy.
Conclusion:
This chicken with cranberry-dijon mustard sauce is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The chicken is tender and moist, the sauce is flavorful and tangy, and the cranberries add a pop of sweetness.
