Cranberry Chicken Recipe

The beautiful ruby-red cranberry sauce makes this dish especially festive for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but it's so delicious you'll want to make it throughout the fall and winter months. What I love most about this easy cranberry chicken recipe is how simple ingredients come together to create something truly special.
