Cup of Yum
Prepare the chicken
- Season chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Drizzle a large pan with oil, brown the chicken on both sides, and set aside.
- Arrange chicken breasts in the foil tray. Stir together cranberry sauce, 1/2 cup broth (or water) and the onion soup mix. Spoon over the chicken breasts.
Prepare the stuffing
- Arrange stuffing, celery, and onions on the unused half of the sheet pan. In a medium bowl stir together broth, butter, salt, and pepper. Pour over the stuffing and use spoons or your hands to toss well.
Bake it
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until chicken is cooked through and stuffing is browned and crisp on the top. Top with dried cranberries and serve.
Notes
- I like to broil my stuffing right at the end for 2-3 minutes to get a crisp top, completely optional!
