This Cranberry Chicken recipe is a classic,
it’s been around for years
The reason is not only because it tastes great,
it preps in minutes
It’s also holiday festive
and perfect for this busy time of year
Only 4 ingredients, cranberry sauce, creamy French salad dressing,
dry onion soup mix and boneless chicken
Cut the chicken breasts in half or into tenders
so the chicken can soak up lots of yummy sauce
Put the chicken in a prepared dish that is sized
to hold the chicken closely together
and top it with the dry onion soup mix
Spread the whole berry cranberry sauce over all
Then cover the whole thing with the French dressing
Cover the casserole dish and put it in a 400 degree F oven for 40 minutes
Then reduce heat to 350, uncover and bake for 20 minutes more
Serve it with rice, stuffing or potatoes and a vegetable or salad
You can also make this in a slow cooker,
cook on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-5 hours
