CRANBERRY/ORANGE CHICKEN



Cranberry/Orange Chicken image

Meet the Cook: My husband and I have a small bog. So I "experiment" with cranberry recipes every fall! I came across this one in a cookbook, then just changed around a few things to better suit our tastes. Cranberry/Orange Chicken is a nice New England dinner our entire family (we have two teenagers) enjoys. Sometimes, I'll make cranberry sauce, too, to top off a dessert of gingerbread. -Sharon Parsons, Killingworth, Connecticut
