LOCATION

Directions

  • 1 Heat oven to 375°F. In 1-quart saucepan, cook basting sauce ingredients over low heat 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until marmalade is melted.
  • 2 In 15x10x1-inch pan, place chicken breasts. Brush with half of the basting sauce. In medium bowl, toss potatoes and onion with oil; place around chicken. Bake 25 minutes.
  • 3 Meanwhile, in small bowl, soak cranberries in 1/4 cup orange juice.
  • 4 Brush chicken again with remaining basting sauce. Stir gently to coat vegetables with pan juices. With slotted spoon, sprinkle cranberries over vegetables; drizzle with juice. Bake about 20 minutes longer or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut to bone (170°F), and vegetables are tender.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

The marmalade basting sauce delivers great flavor without adding any fat. Try it with pork tenderloin.

Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin A and a good source of vitamin C.
