A delightful twist on a classic chicken dish, combining tangy cranberries with a savory sauce for a flavorful meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cranberry sauce, Russian dressing, and onion soup mix until well blended.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Place the chicken breasts in a greased baking dish.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Pour the cranberry mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Use a spoon to spread the sauce evenly over the chicken.
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbling.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve the chicken hot, optionally over rice or with your favorite side dish.
Garnish with fresh herbs for a pop of color and flavor.
