Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can (14 oz) whole berry cranberry sauce
- 1 packet (1 oz) dry onion soup mix
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the chicken in a single layer.
- Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, spacing them slightly apart.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cranberry sauce and dry onion soup mix. Stir until the mixture becomes thick and evenly blended.
- Pour the cranberry mixture over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated. Use a spoon to spread the sauce evenly throughout the dish.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for another 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened into a glossy glaze.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices settle and the flavors deepen.
- Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables to soak up the extra sauce.
