Cranberry Balsamic Roasted Chicken
I love cooking up a storm with my family whenever I come home. This latest visit was no exception, as we messed around with a few ideas and recipes to create a delicious meal.
This Cranberry Balsamic Roasted Chicken is comforting and hearty with seasonal flavours and simple instructions. Make the marinade the night before and have everything prepped when you are feeling crunched on time!
It is a tasty and satisfying dish that can be enjoyed with a side of roasted potatoes and vegetables, on a bed of salad with the marinade as a dressing, or in a stir fry.
