2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup fat-free low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water (or may substitute Madeira wine)
6 clementines, sectioned to equal 2 cups

6
Cover chicken loosely with foil and let stand 10 minutes; then remove skin and discard.

Combine the cornstarch and water (or wine if you choose) in a small dish and stir into the cranberry mixture. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
