How to Make Chicken With Cranberry Hoisin Sauce

  1. In a large resealable bag, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs), one piece at a time, shaking to coat evenly.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the juices run clear and the chicken is cooked through.
  4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to keep warm.
  5. Reserve 1/3 cup of pineapple chunks and 1/3 cup of pineapple juice from a (20 ounce) can of pineapple.
  6. In the same skillet, whisk together 1/4 cup hoisin sauce, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper sauce (or to taste).
  7. Stir in the reserved pineapple chunks and pineapple juice.
  8. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low.
  9. Simmer uncovered for 2 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened and the cranberries are heated through.
  10. Serve the delicious cranberry hoisin sauce generously over the cooked chicken.
