Instructions: Prepare rice mix according to package directions. Spoon cooked rice into a lightly greased 9- by 13-inch baking dish. Arrange uncooked chicken breasts over rice. Combine remaining ingredients in a saucepan and heat to a boil. Pour sauce over chicken and rice. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees 1 hour.
This is what we had for dinner last night. My daughter loves it. Each time Ive made it Ive made a couple modifications. Last night was the best. I use a box of Uncle Bens Wild Rice...cook on the stove according to package directions, omitting butter. Then when its done, I stir in the Cranberry Sauce, Lemon Juice, Worcestershire, and Margarine. We omit the soy because my kids like it better without. Put that in a lightly greased (I use Pam) 9x9 glass baking dish and bake, uncovered for 30 minutes. For the chicken I used boneless, skinless breasts, seasoned lightly with Lawrys Seasoned Salt and sauteed in a nonstick skillet with Pam. Actually, I spray the chicken lightly with Pam too, before seasoning it. The chicken browns nicely this way. I really dont think there is enough rice in one of those packages to serve as a side dish with 8 pieces of chicken...unless each person was eating two pieces. I also served Broccoli with Cheese Sauce (I buy the frozen pouches - they are pretty lowfat, then add additional cooked broccoli. My kids like sauced broccoli better than plain). We also had bread. No salad because I was in a hurry. NOTES : I used 4 breast halves. Omit soy when making for Erin...or anytime really. If you dont brown the chicken first, dust with paprika and maybe some seasoned salt. After Cathy Piepmeier of Kansas City requested a recipe for cranberry chicken, several readers shared recipes. Although the recipes were similar, some suggested doubling the amount of rice and another suggested doubling the sauce because it is so flavorful. Email this Recipe:
