If you like stir-fried chicken recipes and scrumptious sauces, this recipe is a real winner and it is unusual enough to pleasantly surprise people who eat lots of chicken recipes. Why not serve this at your next dinner party, if you are looking for something a bit different?
Cranberry sauce is traditionally served with turkey and ham recipes but the flavor is also very good with chicken, especially combined with the mustard and the kick from the chili too. You might think that combining a strong flavor like mustard with a sweet one like cranberry sauce is asking for culinary disaster but nothing could be further from the truth, because the resulting dish is magnificent. The chilies and mustard do make this one of our spicier pan fried chicken recipes so if you are not keen on hot dishes, either omit the chili or choose something else. If you decrease the amount of mustard, the sauce becomes too sweet but this is not such a hot dish if you leave the chili out of it.
If you have already tried a lot of grilled chicken recipes, baked chicken recipes and crockpot chicken recipes, have a try at this interesting chicken recipe. It makes a delicious and quick chicken dinner, which the whole family will like. It might even end up becoming one of your favorites because of its unusual and distinctive flavor.
