Serving Size: 4

Cooking Time: 55 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 Cloves garlic, minced
• 0.25 Cups butter, softened
• 4 6 Ounces (oz) chicken breast halves, skinless, boneless
• 8 Thin slices prosciutto
• 1.25 Cups chicken stock
• 0.5 Cups orange juice
• 0.5 Cups sugar, white
• 1.5 Cups cranberries, fresh

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a glass baking dish.
2. Mix the minced garlic into the softened butter. Cut a slit into the side of each chicken breast to create a pocket, and fill with the garlic butter.
3. Wrap each chicken breast with two slices of prosciutto to form a bundle. Place into the baking dish, seam-side down, and pour in the chicken stock.
4. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cover with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, bring the cooking liquid from the chicken, orange juice, and sugar to a simmer in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the cranberries and cook until they begin to pop, about 10 minutes.
6. Strain the mixture through a mesh sieve, pressing to expel all of the juice. Discard the solids.
7. To serve, cut each chicken breast into several slices, place the slices onto serving plates, and drizzle with the cranberry jus. Enjoy!
