Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cranberry sauce, and dry onion soup mix. Stir until the ingredients are fully mixed.
  4. Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the baking dish.
  5. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  6. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve the chicken with the pan sauce spooned over the top.

Notes

  • Serve this dish over rice, mashed potatoes, or egg noodles to soak up the extra sauce.
  • For a tangier flavor, substitute half of the cranberry sauce with orange marmalade.
  • This recipe works well with chicken thighs if you prefer dark meat.
