WINTER CHICKEN BAKE
This is an easy recipe that is warm, hearty, healthy, and colorful. The tartness of the cranberries compliments the sweetness of the barbecue sauce and the mellow sweet potatoes. Homemade barbecue sauce is what I used, but your favorite barbecue sauce will work too.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.

- Arrange the onion, apple, and carrots into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Brush the barbecue sauce on both sides of the chicken breasts and lay atop the vegetables. Peel the sweet potato and cut into large chunks; scatter into the baking dish. Sprinkle the cranberries over the dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is tender and no longer pink in the center, 45 to 55 minutes. Allow to cool 5 minutes before serving.

- Season the chicken generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or paprika.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish. If the chicken is too crowded, it won't cook evenly.
- Bake the chicken at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help to keep the chicken juicy and prevent it from drying out.
