Chicken is a good partner for tart fruits, such as cranberries, especially in a well-spiced sauce. Serve with rice or bread and 1/2 cup (125 mL) plain yogurt mixed with 1/4 cup (50 mL) chopped fresh mint (or 1 tbsp/15 mL dried) to spoon over the chicken.

Ingredients
Method
In plastic bag, toss chicken with flour to coat. Reserve remaining flour.
In large nonstick skillet, heat half of the oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken, about 10 minutes. Transfer to plate; pour off fat in pan.
Add remaining oil to pan; reduce heat to medium. Add onion, garlic, coriander, cinnamon, pepper and hot pepper flakes; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with reserved flour; cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
Stir in cranberries, stock, orange juice, sugar and salt ; bring to boil. Return chicken to pan; arrange orange slices over chicken. Reduce heat, cover and simmer, occasionally spooning sauce over chicken, until juices run clear when chicken is pierced, 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle with mint.
