Amish Cranberry Chicken

What to Serve with Amish Cranberry Chicken

This dish is all about the incredible sauce, so you need the perfect starchy side to soak up every last drop! Here are top recommendations to round out your plate:

• Starches: Creamy roasted garlic mashed potatoes are a classic pairing. Buttered egg noodles (a true Amish staple) or steamed white or brown rice are also fantastic, kid-friendly options.
• Vegetables: To balance the richness of the main course, serve alongside bright, crisp-tender vegetables. Steamed green beans, roasted broccoli florets, or a simple side salad with a light vinaigrette work perfectly.
• Bread: Don’t forget a warm slice of crusty French bread, homemade dinner rolls, or garlic knots to wipe your plate clean!

Storage, Freezing, and Reheating Instructions

This Amish Cranberry Chicken makes incredible leftovers. The flavors actually continue to meld and deepen in the refrigerator overnight!

• To Store: Allow the chicken and sauce to cool completely to room temperature. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
• To Freeze: This is a wonderful freezer meal! Place the cooled chicken and sauce in a freezer-safe, heavy-duty zip-top bag or airtight container. Squeeze out as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
• To Reheat: For individual portions, microwave in 1-minute bursts until heated through. For larger amounts, gently warm the chicken and sauce in a saucepan on the stove over medium-low heat, adding a splash of water or chicken broth if the sauce has become too thick.
