Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts or 6 chicken thighs
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup (or substitute with Catalina dressing for a tangier flavor)
- 1 (14 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
- 1 (12 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Place the chicken pieces in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup (or Catalina dressing), dry onion soup mix, and cranberry sauce until combined.
- Spoon the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken pieces, making sure they are well coated.
- Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve the chicken with the pan sauce spooned over the top.
Notes
- For a richer, slightly sweeter flavor, substitute the cream of chicken soup with Catalina dressing.
- This dish pairs well served over rice, mashed potatoes, or egg noodles.
- If using chicken thighs, cooking time may be slightly longer depending on thickness.
