I love it when strange ingredients come together in a surprising, but delicious way. I would never have thought to put cranberry sauce on chicken, let alone with balsamic vinegar. It works so well together!

My husband is the only one in my household that likes cranberry sauce, however, he has a rule. He refuses to eat homemade sauce, therefore it has to be “real cranberry sauce”. FYI – the jelly that comes from a can. Since he’s the only one that eats it, there is always cranberry leftover when all the turkey is gone. So I came up with a fun way to use some of it up: Cranberry Balsamic Chicken.

Before ya’ll ask, my baking dish is from this CW by Corningware set , which made an appearance in this recipe for Roasted Chicken and Artichokes.

I originally made this recipe for my friends at Canadian Chicken Farmers but realized I put together the wrong kind of recipe (I was supposed to make an appetizer) so I kept this as some delicious, non-sponsored content for all of you. Which is fine, I do non-sponsored recipes and videos all the time – but there is a branded message in the above video. Which, again, is totally fine because I buy Canadian chicken anyway! If you’re dying to know what appetizer I made it’s these Fajita Chicken Wings.
