Directions

Prep 15 minCook 75 min
  1. 1

    Pat the chicken breasts dry and arrange them in a single layer in a glass or other nonreactive baking dish.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, whisk together the onion soup mix, cranberry sauce, and French dressing until smooth. Pour over the chicken and turn to coat evenly.

  3. 3

    Cover the dish and refrigerate to marinate for at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours.

  4. 4

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove the cover and loosely tent the dish with aluminum foil.

  5. 5

    Bake covered for 45–55 minutes, then uncover and continue baking until the sauce is bubbling, the top is lightly browned, and the chicken reaches 165°F, about 20–30 minutes more.

  6. 6

    Let rest 5 minutes before serving, spooning sauce over the chicken.
