🍗🍒 Cranberry Chicken (Easy 3–4 Ingredient Recipe)
A surprisingly tasty dish you can make by simply pouring Cranberry Sauce over Chicken Breast before baking. The sweet-tart sauce turns into a flavorful glaze while the chicken cooks.
Ingredients
- 3–4 Chicken Breast (boneless, skinless)
- 1 can Cranberry Sauce
- 1 packet Onion Soup Mix (optional but very flavorful)
- ½ cup French Dressing or Catalina Dressing (optional)
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat oven
Set oven to 375°F (190°C).
2️⃣ Place chicken in baking dish
Arrange the chicken breasts in a baking dish in a single layer.
3️⃣ Make the sauce
In a bowl, mix the cranberry sauce, onion soup mix, and dressing (if using).
4️⃣ Pour over chicken
Dump the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
5️⃣ Bake
Bake uncovered for 35–45 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
