Chicken with Cranberry-Mustard Sauce Recipe

Chicken with Cranberry-Mustard Sauce Recipe

  • 4 large skinless boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1 1/2 cups low-salt chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup frozen concentrated cranberry juice cocktail, thawed
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  1. Sprinkle chicken with onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sauté until brown, about 5 minutes per side. Using tongs, transfer chicken to plate. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to same skillet and melt. Whisk in flour and mustard; cook 1 minute. Gradually whisk in broth, juice concentrate, and cranberries. Bring to boil, whisking occasionally. Boil until sauce thickens enough to coat spoon, about 6 minutes. Return chicken to skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
