Chicken with Cranberries
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.

3 lb (1.5 kg) chicken pieces, skinned
3 tbsp (50mL) all-purpose flour
2 tbsp (25 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
1 large red onion, thinly sliced
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp (10 mL) ground coriander
1 tsp (5 mL) cinnamon
1/2 tsp (2 mL) pepper
1/4 tsp (1 mL) hot pepper flakes
1 cup (250 mL) fresh or frozen cranberries
1/2 cup (125 mL) chicken stock
1/2 cup (125 mL) orange juice
2 tsp (10 mL) granulated sugar
3/4 tsp (4 mL) salt
5 thin slices orange, halved

Preparation:
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.
