List of Ingredients

Chicken:
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Dash pepper
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tsp olive oil or vegetable oil

Cranberry Orange Sauce:
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
2 tablespoons chopped pecans
1 clove garlic minced
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 bag fresh spinach


Recipe

In a resealable bag combine flour sugar salt and pepper. Flatten chicken to about 3/8-inch thickness, place in the bag and shake to coat. In a skillet cook chicken in oil for 3 min. on each side or until the juices run clear. Remove from pan and keep warm.

Add cranberries and orange juice to the skillet. Cover and cook over medium heat for about 5 min. or until cranberries pop. Add brown sugar and orange peel and cook 1 min. longer. Stir in pecans and remove from the heat.

In another skillet sauté garlic in butter until tender. Add spinach and sauté for 1 min or until spinach begins to wilt (I did it about 3 minutes) Add spinach to plate and top with chicken and cranberry sauce.
