The cranberry make this a sweetly
tart dish.
The barbeque sauce makes this a
smoky dish.
The pepper makes this a spicy dish.
Sweet, smoky, and spicy. This
sounds like the beginning of a romance novel. The fact that it is served over
cous cous kind of kills it though.
Cranberry Chicken and Cous Cous Recipe
Yields 4 servings
Chicken Ingredients
14 oz. can whole berry cranberry
sauce
1 cup barbeque sauce (I used KC
Masterpiece Smoky Bourbon)
4 boneless and skinless chicken
breasts
½ cup celery, diced
½ cup onion, diced
2 Tbsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Chicken Directions
1. Combine the cranberry sauce and
barbeque sauce in a bowl. Set aside.
2. Add the chicken to the slow
cooker. Top with celery, onion, red pepper, and salt and pepper.
3. Add the cranberry and barbeque
mixture and disperse evenly.
4. Cook on low for 3-4 hours, or
until done.
5. This next step is optional. You
could serve the breast whole, but I prefer in chunks. Remove the chicken
breasts from the slow cooker and let cool for five minutes. Cut into pieces and
return the pieces to the slow cooker. Stir to verify that the chicken is
coated.
