Cranberry Chicken (Super Easy, Super Fast!)

Hi all ,
This is my go to recipe when all I have is 15 minutes and dinner has to be ready NOW .   On the plus side , not only is it easy and ready in record time , but it is really tasty too .  In addition to that , it is a 5 ingredient recipe . . . can this get any better ?  I'm just going to share instead of keeping you in suspense any longer .  Enjoy !

1 TBSP of EVOO
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast fillets (or a package of raw Chicken Tenders)
1 cup Craisins
1/2 cup apple juice
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard



Directions

  1. Combine mustard , apple juice , and chicken stock in a small bowl and blend it together .  Add the Craisins and set aside . (You can also add 1/4 cup Cranberry Juice if you like)
  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat .  Once the oil is hot , add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes each side .  Remove chicken from the pan temporarily and keep warm.
  3. Pour the craisin-liquid mixture and reduce heat to low (and scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan) and add the chicken back into pan .
  4. Cook for another 8-10 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and sauce has thickened .  Serve chicken with the sauce poured on top .
