Instructions

In a food processor add ½ cup cranberries, balsamic vinegar, 3 tablespoons olive oil, rosemary, kosher salt, and garlic. Blend until smooth and reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade.
Add chicken halves to a large gallon ziptop bag and pour the rest of the marinade into the bag and squish around the bag to cover all the chicken in the marinade. Place the chicken in the refrigerator and let marinate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
When you're ready to cook the chicken preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper.
Add the marinated chicken to the sheet pan and bake for 45 minutes. Halfway through, baste your chicken with the reserved marinade.
Remove the chicken from the oven and add the green beans and remaining cranberries around the chicken.
Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, season with black pepper, and toss to combine.
Add back to the oven and cook for another 15 minutes. The chicken should register at least 165 degrees F.
Once fully cooked remove from the oven and sprinkle the beans with goat cheese, serve hot.
Note: If your chicken halves are smaller cut down your cooking time. If the chicken is larger simple increase your chicken cooking time.
