CHICKEN WITH CRANBERRY-DIJON MUSTARD SAUCE



Chicken With Cranberry-Dijon Mustard Sauce image

The cranberry- Dijon mustard sauce was originally a dip recipe found on oceanspray.com and switched to a sauce for chicken. Recipe #188835 is identical to the way I prepare homemade cranberry sauce. I try to keep a bag of frozen whole cranberries on hand for these type of recipes. Super easy for a weeknight meal.
