Chicken in tomato and cranberry sauce

[lamaudite.livejournal.com]

I'm doing this tonight so I thought I'd share. :) I use good bottle of wine for cooking this, and since it only takes a little over half a cup, I enjoy the rest in a glass! An easy dish but you do need an hour or so to spare...

4 chicken breasts, skinned
2 tablespoon of oil 
1 onion, chopped
1 condensed tomato soup (a la Campbell's)
8 oz of cranberry sauce (1 cup)
1/4 pint of red wine (approx. 142 ml)
juice of one lemon

Preheat oven at gas mark 5 (about 180 C).

Brown chicken with onion in oil. Remove chicken. Add soup, cranberry sauce and wine to the pan and boil for 2 minutes.

Add lemon juice and tranfer the lot to a casserole dish. Mix and cover. Stick in the over for 45 min to an hour.

Goes well with tatties or rice, and veggies.

Now this sounds good! I think I'll try it out this weekend.

It's also one dish that freezes really well.

Thanks for letting me know! I mentioned this recipe to my mother, who wanted to know if one could freeze it. Means I can do a double batch if I want and put half in the freezer.

Sounds very good! We eat a lot of chicken so I'll have to try it.
