You will not believe how easy this moist, sweet, and savory chicken is. It can be made in large proportions for entertaining or the holidays, or you can half this recipe for any weeknight meal! I like to make a little extra and have leftovers all week. The sweetness of the cranberry pairs perfectly with the savory rosemary and oregano for a dish that just can’t be beat! You know me, I like things to look like they took forever, taste fantastic and actually take minimal effort!
