Chicken with Cranberries

Name: Chicken with Cranberries
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 35 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 6 servings.
Ingredients: 3/4 cup all-purpose flour; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon pepper; 6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each); 1/4 cup butter; 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries; 1 cup water; 1/2 cup packed brown sugar; 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar; Dash ground nutmeg

When cranberries are in season, I like to stock the freezer so I can serve this dish year-round. The sauce's tangy flavor complements the chicken very well.

Ingredients

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
1/4 cup butter
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
1 cup water
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Dash ground nutmeg

Directions

In a shallow bowl, combine flour, salt and pepper; dredge the chicken. In a large skillet, cook chicken in butter until browned on both sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, combine the cranberries, water, brown sugar, vinegar and nutmeg; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Place chicken on top; cover and simmer for 30 minutes. To serve, spoon cranberry mixture over chicken.

This is the only stove-top recipe I use for any chicken dish with cranberries! Serve over rice with a salad to make a quick complete meal. Delicious!

I made this recipe as written, using fresh cranberries, and my husband and I enjoyed it. For my preferences, I might use slightly less flour, butter, and brown sugar next. But, all in all, a tasty meal - great for a family dinner or a casual meal with friends.
