Cranberry Chicken

Here's an easy idea for dinner. I served mine with rice.  The Catalina dressing was a little hard to find as it's an old-fashion kind that's come back for a second life. I found one at Market Basket. If you don't have one, use a French dressing instead.

 

CRANBERRY CHICKEN
14 oz. can of cranberry sauce
8 oz. Catalina dressing
pkg. onion soup mix
4 chicken breasts
Mix first three ingredients; pour over chicken that has been placed in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

Bake at 350°F for 90 minutes or until chicken is tender and browned.
