You can make this simple, flavorful chicken dinner using just four ingredients. This baked cranberry chicken combines sweet and savory tastes, making it perfect for busy weeknights or holiday meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large chicken breasts or 8 chicken thighs
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup (or similar binder)
  • 1 (14 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 1 packet dry onion soup mix

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Place the chicken pieces in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, cranberry sauce, and dry onion soup mix until they are well combined.
  4. Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well coated.
  5. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
  6. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve the chicken with the pan sauce over rice or mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts if you prefer darker meat.
  • This recipe works well for meal prepping; store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a slight variation, add a dash of black pepper or a teaspoon of dried thyme to the sauce mixture.
