Servings:4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even 3/4 inch thickness
- salt and pepper , to taste
- 1 teaspoon Italian herb blend seasoning
- 1 15-ounce can cranberry sauce
- ½ cup chicken broth , or water
- 1 envelope onion soup mix
for the stuffing
- 10 ounces cube stuffing , (or about 4 cups sourdough bread cut into small cubes and left out overnight)
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 1 1½ cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 3 celery stalks, chopped
- ½ white onion, diced
- 2 teaspoons Italian herb blend seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ⅓ cup dried cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Use Reynolds Wrap Heavy Duty Foil to cover one half of a large sheet pan. Fold up the edges to make a tray.
Prepare the chicken
- Season chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Drizzle a large pan with oil, brown the chicken on both sides, and set aside.
- Arrange chicken breasts in the foil tray. Stir together cranberry sauce, 1/2 cup broth (or water) and the onion soup mix. Spoon over the chicken breasts.
Prepare the stuffing
- Arrange stuffing, celery, and onions on the unused half of the sheet pan. In a medium bowl stir together broth, butter, salt, and pepper. Pour over the stuffing and use spoons or your hands to toss well.
Bake it
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until chicken is cooked through and stuffing is browned and crisp on the top. Top with dried cranberries and serve.
Notes
I like to broil my stuffing right at the end for 2-3 minutes to get a crisp top, completely optional!
