CRANBERRY/ORANGE CHICKEN



Cranberry/Orange Chicken image

Meet the Cook: My husband and I have a small bog. So I "experiment" with cranberry recipes every fall! I came across this one in a cookbook, then just changed around a few things to better suit our tastes. Cranberry/Orange Chicken is a nice New England dinner our entire family (we have two teenagers) enjoys. Sometimes, I'll make cranberry sauce, too, to top off a dessert of gingerbread. -Sharon Parsons, Killingworth, Connecticut

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken is cooked evenly, try to use chicken breasts that are of similar size. If you don't have chicken breasts of the same size, cook the smaller ones for a shorter amount of time.
  • If you want your chicken to have a crispy skin, make sure to pat it dry with paper towels before cooking. This will help the skin crisp up in the oven.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic and ginger in the recipe to suit your taste. If you like a stronger flavor, add more garlic and ginger. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less.
  • For a healthier version of this dish, you can use low-sodium soy sauce and reduce the amount of brown sugar. You can also use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour.
  • Serve this dish with white or brown rice, or with your favorite Asian-inspired side dishes.
