Skillet Spiced Cranberry Chicken image

I like to serve this easy one-pan dish throughout the holidays, when fresh cranberries are in season! Frozen or dried cranberries could also be used, for all year round appeal. Feel free to adjust sweetness to your tastes (we like it tangy, aromatic, and not too sweet). This chicken is great served with stuffing or rice, and your favorite seasonal vegetables.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
salt and pepper
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons water or 2 tablespoons apple juice
1 cup fresh cranberries
1 cooking apple, cored and diced
1/3 cup fruit chutney (I used Peach Chutney)
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated fresh orange zest
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 tablespoon brown sugar, to taste
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, to taste

Steps:

  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper, cinnamon, allspice, 1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest, and the ginger.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully add the chicken breast halves and sear for about 2 minutes on each side. Now add the 2 tablespoons water or apple juice and reduce heat to a simmer, cover pan, and cook until chicken is done, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and keep warm.
  • To make sauce, add the cranberries, diced apple, chutney, 1 teaspoon grated orange zest, orange juice, brown sugar, and cider vinegar to the pan, stirring up any browned bits. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring all the while. Then reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring from time to time, until some cranberries begin to burst and apples are softened, about 10 minutes.
  • Place the chicken in the sauce, toss to coat and heat through briefly.
  • Serve sauce with chicken, accompanied with rice or stuffing and your favorite seasonal vegetables.

I'm not a fan of spicy food. Can I omit the chili powder from this recipe?

I'm allergic to cranberries. Can I substitute another fruit, like apples or oranges?

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some rotisserie chicken and it was delicious.

I'm not a big fan of cranberries, but I still enjoyed this dish. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the spices were very flavorful.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less sugar in the cranberry sauce.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the chicken didn't cook through. I had to put it back in the skillet for another 10 minutes.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the cranberry sauce was delicious.

I was a bit skeptical about the cranberry sauce, but it was actually really good. It paired perfectly with the chicken.
