This has surpassed chicken in tarragon sauce and chicken Marbella for me. It’s that good. I stock up on frozen cranberries so I can make it when they are not in season. It lends itself to so many variations of additions and every one is superb.
I was recommended this recipe by a friend, I had all the ingredients so thought why not. It was such a tasty dish, loved by all who had it & will be making it again.
This is a great recipe and one we often come back to. Especially on Christmas Eve. Simple to create but great flavour, just serve with crusty bread
