Chicken with Apples and Cranberries Recipe

If only this chicken with apples and cranberries recipe had a video, so you could see just how juicy and mouthwateringly delicious the final plate is... A single picture does not do it justice, so we suggest to try it for yourself tonight.

Your friends and loved ones will be interested in this meal, too; put loads of love into it, and you will be rewarded with smiles and praise all around the table.

Dried cranberries provide a bulk of flavor to this uniquely flavored dish, but to stay safe, you'll need to check the ingredients. Several brands sneak sugar or "concentrated fruit juice" into naturally sour cranberries, which is something you will want to avoid on your quest to dine and live the Paleo way.

Seek them out from a reputable source, or dehydrate them at home, and you will be rewarded with a lovely tartness that is characteristically cranberry.

If you are buying dried cranberries in bulk, you will be able to add them to your homemade dried fruit bars.

We guarantee that you will love this dish; however, let us offer a variation on the theme of chicken, cranberries, and apples, just in case: how about chicken kebabs with an apple cranberry salad?

It is a very simple grilled dish that allows you to make plenty of chicken bites for lunch leftovers, with enough for snacking between meals.
