Cranberry Chicken
I have been nervous all week to make this dish. We have never had it and with such picky eaters I was worried it wouldn’t go over too well, I was even a little worried I wouldn’t like it. Even as I popped it in the oven I still wasn’t so sure but soon enough the house smelled amazing and my fears vanished. I pulled it out and sampled it and it was amazing for such a simple dish. Now my pickiest eater wont eat homemade mashed potatoes, burgers, ketchup or basically anything that doesn’t come out of a can or freezer. I tried again tonight to get her to try what we were eating, “one bite and you can spit it out if you don’t like it” I told her for what seems to be the millionth time. She reluctantly took a tiny nibble and lo and behold she liked it and picked out a huge chicken leg for dinner. I was so happy I could cry!!! I figured if she liked it the rest of the picky eaters should too, and they did. It was fabulous, I served it with rice and spooned some leftover juice over the rice…to die for. I will admit while cleaning up and putting away the leftovers I ate another chicken leg, it is irresistible and with 4 ingredients you cant go wrong with this dinner. Please please try this recipe, yes it sounds weird and you too might be just as hesitant as I was but one bite and you will be hooked just like we are.

Make It
HEAT oven to 350°F.
PEEL skin off chicken
PLACE chicken in a foil lined (13×9-inch) baking dish.
MIX remaining ingredients; pour over chicken.
BAKE 50 min. or until chicken is done (165°F).
Yum!! My hubby would adore this :)
It is a crowd pleaser :)
You can also try leaving out the honey and cranberry and using just the Catalina dressing, the onion soup mix and use about 3/4 jar of smuckers apricot jam. Same ides, slightly different – we call it sticky chicken!
Ohh that sounds yummy too!!! :)
