Easy Maple Cranberry Sauce {refined sugar-free}

cranberries

maple syrup ((120 ml))

cinnamon stick

water ((60 ml))

In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, maple syrup, tangerine zest and juice, cinnamon stick and water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then lower the heat to maintain a low simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries have broken down a bit and thickened into a compote, 25-30 minutes. It will continue to thicken as it cools. Serve warm, chilled, or at room temperature. The sauce keeps well, refrigerated airtight, for up to 2 weeks.

You’ll want to drink this maple cranberry sauce, but try to refrain because you’ll love it over a boneless skinless chicken breast. This will become a family favorite!

Chicken Breasts with Maple Cranberry Sauce

chicken breast

salt

pepper

olive oil

yellow onion, diced very small

dry red wine

maple syrup (not artificial!)

cornstarch

water

Season chicken with salt and pepper and cook as desired (I baked mine in a preheated 350°F oven for about 30 minutes). You can bake them, pan fry them, grill, or poach. Whatever you prefer.

While the chicken cooks, prepare the sauce. In a small sauce pan, heat oil over medium heat. Saute onions until translucent, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Add wine, syrup, and cranberries. Bring to a boil over high heat and then reduce heat slightly (medium-high heat). Cook for five minutes, stirring.

Combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl with a whisk or a fork. While stirring sauce, stir in cornstarch/water mixture, reduce heat to medium and continue to cook for about a minute or until thickened. Serve sauce over cooked chicken.
