Cranberry Feta Chicken Bake is a delicious fall dish featuring juicy chicken breasts baked in a sweet and tangy cranberry sauce, topped with creamy feta cheese and fresh rosemary.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 1 to 1 ½ pounds total
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup (139 g) whole berry cranberry sauce, homemade or store-bought
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
  • ½ cup (120 g) chicken broth
  • ¼ cup (38 g) crumbled feta cheese, plus more for serving
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Butterfly the chicken breasts by slicing into one side from the thick end to the thin end, stopping before cutting all the way through. Open each chicken breast like a book and pat dry.
  3. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and sear the seasoned chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from heat.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together cranberry sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, and chicken broth. Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken in the skillet.
  6. Bake uncovered for 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
  7. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and chopped rosemary, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Cooking times may vary depending on the size and thickness of the chicken breasts.
  • For added flavor, top with additional feta and rosemary before serving.
  • Serve with a side of vegetables or salad for a complete meal.
