Cranberry Chicken

Using leftover Cranberry sauce can be a challenge! While using it for mixing into smoothies is my favorite way to use it up, I will usually whip up a batch of this Cranberry Chicken as well, its a twist on the classic and favorite Russian dressing/apricot jam recipe you may be familiar with, and is simply delicious!

I found this recipe  over at Kraft.

I often will substitute left over turkey meat for the chicken, and just heat it through with the sauce and serve over rice.  This recipe also makes a great crock pot recipe during those busy December nights.
