Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme Coarse salt and ground pepper 4 bone-in chicken breasts (8 ounces each) 1 medium onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup) 1/2 teaspoon dried sage 2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth 1 cup cranberries 1/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon cornstarch (mixed with 1 tablespoon water)

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon butter, 1 teaspoon thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Rub evenly under chicken skin. Place on a rimmed baking sheet; roast skin side up until skin is golden brown and meat is cooked through, about 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt remaining tablespoon butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 8 minutes. Add sage and remaining 1/2 teaspoon thyme; cook 1 minute. Add broth; simmer until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, 10 to 15 minutes. Strain mixture; return to saucepan.

Add cranberries and sugar; boil until berries burst, 5 to 8 minutes. Whisk in cornstarch mixture; return to a boil. Cook until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat (sauce will thicken as it stands). Season with salt and pepper. To serve, spoon sauce over chicken.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/28/2009   oo, yummy! I want to make this tonight! I have boneless chicken.. how should I adjust the cook time?  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/31/2008   we had artichokes as a starter, this recipe with garlic mashed red potatoes, and chocolate cake for our new year's dinner, it was delicious and easy (i was out of sage, sub'd rosemary)  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/29/2008   the thin green beans are great roasted - so put a tiny bit of oil on them and roast for about 10 -15 minutes while cooking the chicken.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/29/2008   haricot verts (or other thin green beans)  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/29/2008   I would be interested to know what veggies you served with this, ladies  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/29/2008   I'm going to try making the glaze separately and spooning it over reheated leftover Christmas turkey. A great recipe to use up holiday leftover! Thanks for the great timing...  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/12/2008   LOVE CRANBERRIES AND SINCE FEBR IS VALENTINES, AND THIS IS A 'RED DISH' I WILL BE MAKING IT FOR SURPRISE DINNER. I CAN JUST TASTE IT NOW!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/14/2007   Delicious! The chicken would be great on its own, without the cranberry sauce... although the sauce is delicious, and definitely worth making. I will be making this again soon!
