Orange-Cranberry Chicken

Can I just tell you that I am SUPER pumped about this dish!? We are having friends over for dinner this week and I am so excited about it! I've always wanted to be able to invite people to our home and have dinner and such. And now, we finally have a place where we can! YAY! :)

NOW - Let's just hope this chicken tastes as good as it sounds!

Orange Cranberry Chicken

Ingredients
4 - chicken breasts (I'm using boneless; bone-in would be good too)
1 - 14 oz. can whole berry cranberry sauce
1 cup of orange juice
1 tbsp. brown sugar
Zest of 1 large orange
Salt & pepper to taste

1 tbsp. butter
1-2 tbsp. flour or cornstarch

Directions

In the bottom of the slow cooker, combine cranberry sauce, brown sugar, orange juice and orange zest

Season chicken breasts with salt & pepper. Add to slow cooker.

Cook chicken breasts on low for about 4-6 hours or until meat is tender.

 

For glaze, add butter and flour to skillet to create a roux

Add 1-2 cups of orange cranberry liquid to roux

Bring liquid to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until mixture thickens
Serve sauce over chicken breast

 

Is anybody else hungry!?? :)
