Servings: persons

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
salt and pepper
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons water or 2 tablespoons apple juice
1 cup fresh cranberries
1 cooking apple, cored and diced
1/3 cup fruit chutney (I used Peach Chutney)
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated fresh orange zest
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 tablespoon brown sugar, to taste
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, to taste

1
Season the chicken with salt and pepper, cinnamon, allspice, 1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest, and the ginger.
2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully add the chicken breast halves and sear for about 2 minutes on each side. Now add the 2 tablespoons water or apple juice and reduce heat to a simmer, cover pan, and cook until chicken is done, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and keep warm.
3
To make sauce, add the cranberries, diced apple, chutney, 1 teaspoon grated orange zest, orange juice, brown sugar, and cider vinegar to the pan, stirring up any browned bits. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring all the while. Then reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring from time to time, until some cranberries begin to burst and apples are softened, about 10 minutes.
4
Place the chicken in the sauce, toss to coat and heat through briefly.
5
Serve sauce with chicken, accompanied with rice or stuffing and your favorite seasonal vegetables.
