Cranberry Orange Chicken

Cranberry Orange Chicken


  • Total Time: 49 minute
  • Diet: Gluten-Free

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 1 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: Fresh cranberries and parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken pieces with salt and black pepper evenly.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the chicken is browned on all sides.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the cranberry sauce, orange juice, orange zest, minced garlic, and dried rosemary.
  5. Lower the heat to medium and pour the cranberry orange mixture over the chicken in the skillet.
  6. Stir well to coat the chicken and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  7. Let the mixture simmer for about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked through.
  8. If the sauce gets too thick, add a tablespoon of water or extra orange juice to reach your desired consistency.
  9. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cranberries and chopped parsley if desired.
  10. Serve warm over your favorite side dish.
