SERVINGS 4

COOK TIME 50 min

PREP TIME 10 min

Ingredients:

6 oz FRENCH'S® French Fried Onions

1 tbsp FRENCH'S® Honey Mustard

4 boneless,skinless chicken breasts

14 oz can whole berry cranberry sauce

1 cup grated Gruyere cheese

1 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray 8x8 square baking dish with cooking spray. Mix together ½ can cranberry sauce, 1 C. French’s Fried Onions, and grated Gruyere cheese until blended. Set aside. Trim chicken breasts about 1 inch above the “point” on the meat to form a rectangle shape. (Save for future use) Flatten chicken breasts with a meat mallet as thin as possible without tearing (about ¼ inch). Place ¼ of cranberry-onion-cheese mixture in the center of each flattened chicken breast. Overlap flattened breast and place seam side down, close together, in prepared pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake uncovered for 35 minutes. While chicken is baking, mix remaining cranberry sauce and French’s Honey Mustard together and microwave on high for 1 minute. Remove chicken from oven. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees. Spoon prepared cranberry-honey mustard mixture over chicken and return to oven for 10 more minutes. Remove chicken from oven and let rest while you put remaining French’s Fried Onions in microwave for 1 minute. Place chicken breasts on a platter. Sprinkle with heated, crispy French’s Fried Onions and serve!
