SKILLET SPICED CRANBERRY CHICKEN
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.

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.
Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and more tartness than frozen cranberries. If you only have frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before using.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
- Use a good quality chicken broth. The chicken broth will add flavor to the sauce, so use a brand that you like the taste of.
- Add some vegetables to the skillet. Vegetables such as carrots, celery, and onions will add flavor and nutrition to the dish.
- Serve the chicken with rice or mashed potatoes. Rice or mashed potatoes will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
Conclusion:
Skillet cranberry chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is cooked in a flavorful sauce made with cranberries, chicken broth, and spices. The dish is served over rice or mashed potatoes. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
