Tangy & delicious, Member bryoria

I chose this recipe simply because I wanted to use up the many bags of cranberries in the freezer. It turned out better than I was expecting. The tangy cranberry-orange flavour was delicious. I cut each chicken breast into thirds before browning. The chicken texture was definitely ""stewed"" when the cooking was done - it shredded easily with a fork and needed the sauce poured over top to return the juices and flavour to the meat. Served with white rice and green beans and lots of the sauce on top. Even our pickiest kid ate it! It was great the next day too.
