Cranberry Chicken Recipe
Recipe Type:
Poultry,
Cranberries,
Chicken, Entree
Yields: 4 servings
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 30 min
Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts halves, boneless and skinless*
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons firmly-packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
1/4 cup cranberry vinegar (or other herb vinegar)
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed
lemon juice
1/2 green or red bell pepper, cored, seeded and chopped
2 cloves of
garlic, chopped
Cooked
rice
* The U.S. Department
of Agriculture, as well as food agencies in the United Kingdom and elsewhere,
advises against washing poultry. Rinsing chicken will not remove or kill much
bacteria, and the splashing of water around the sink can spread the bacteria
found in raw chicken. Cooking poultry to 165 degrees Fahrenheit effectively
destroys the most common culprits behind food-borne illness.
Preparation:
Place chicken in shallow, non-reactive pan or in a resealable ziplock plastic bag. In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, cranberry vinegar,
lemon juice, bell pepper, and garlic; pour over chicken. Marinate in refrigerator 1 hour to overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place in a glass baking dish and bake for 30 minutes or until a
meat thermometer registers an
internal temperature of 165 degrees F (juices will run clear when cut with the tip of a knife). Serve with cooked rice.
NOTE: Dripping can be served over rice.
This
is the type of cooking and meat thermometer that I prefer and use in my cooking. I get many readers
asking what cooking/meat thermometer that I prefer and use in my cooking and baking. I, personally, use the
Thermapen Thermometer shown in the photo on the right. Originally designed for professional users, the
Super-Fast Thermapen Thermometer is used by chefs all over the world. To learn more about this excellent
thermometer and to also purchase one (if you desire), just click on the underlined:
