Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 8 ounces French, Russian, or Catalina salad dressing
  • 14 ounce can whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 1 ounce packet dry onion soup mix
  • 1 teaspoon fresh orange zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a glass or non-reactive 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. Place chicken in the prepared dish.
  3. Sprinkle pepper over chicken breasts.
  4. In a separate bowl, stir together dressing, cranberry sauce, dry onion soup mix, and orange zest.
  5. Pour the cranberry sauce mixture over chicken.
  6. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes.
  8. Remove the aluminum foil and continue baking for about 15 minutes more, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
  9. Serve the sauce spooned over the chicken breast.

Notes

  • Chicken: I use regular chicken breast. If you use thinner chicken breast or chicken breast halves, you'll need to reduce the cooking time to avoid overcooked chicken.
  • Dressing: French dressing, Russian dressing, or Catalina dressing will work. Feel free to use lite dressing if you prefer.
  • Nutrition values are estimates.
