Baked Cranberry Chicken with Thyme
This baked cranberry chicken is so good my husband loves it and he's not a cranberry-loving guy! The chicken is seasoned with sea salt, pepper, and thyme while the cranberries are tossed in pure maple syrup. These flavors mix while baking to create a wholesome seasonal meal in only 35 minutes!
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 1 bag organic cranberries (8 ounces or 2 cups)
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 of an onion diced
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (not the sugar-filled kind)
Instructions
- First, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Second, dice onions into small chunks and rise cranberries with water.
- Third, in a bowl mix together diced onion, cranberries, and pure maple syrup. Stir to evenly combine and set aside.
- Forth, season chicken on both sides evenly with pepper, salt, and thyme.
- Fifth, add seasoned chicken to a greased sheet pan (or lay down unbleached parchment paper) and the cranberry mixture on top and around the chicken.
- Sixth, bake for 25-30 minutes and enjoy!
