I don't normally like sweet ingredients mixed with savory but this was good. It wasn't overly sweet but rather kind of tangy. I used boneless chicken thighs instead of white meat which can dry out. I also used more than the equivalent of 2 breast halves abecause I wanted it meatier. I think I woul dhave liked it over rice more than noodles but the noodles were ok.

This is June and cranberries are out of season, could not get frozen or fresh, tried recipe with dried. Not a good idea. No taste and very dry, to the point of being overcooked. Will try another time with correct ingredients.

Wonderful! Nice combination of flavors. I used dried cranberries, and they worked well.
