Ingredients

Basting Sauce

1/4 cup orange marmalade
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Chicken and Vegetables

4 bone-in skinless chicken breasts
2 medium dark-orange sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 medium onion, cut into 8 wedges
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/3 cup sweetened dried cranberries

Heat oven to 375°F. In small saucepan, cook all basting sauce ingredients over low heat 3 to 4 minutes or until marmalade is melted, stirring occasionally.

In 15x10x1-inch pan, place chicken breasts. Brush with half of basting sauce. In medium bowl, toss potatoes and onion with oil; place around chicken. Bake 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, in small bowl, soak cranberries in 1/4 cup orange juice.
