Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (5 ounces each)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1-3/4 teaspoons cornstarch

Directions
- 1. Flatten chicken to 1/2-in. thickness. In a shallow bowl, combine flour, 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper. Coat chicken with flour mixture. In a nonstick skillet, cook chicken in oil for 4-5 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 170°. Remove chicken and keep warm.
- 2. In the same skillet, bring broth to a boil; scrape up any browned bits. Stir in the cranberries, brown sugar, vinegar and remaining salt.
