Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
- 1 cup fresh or dried cranberries
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese

Instructions
- Start by preparing your honey marinade. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the honey, olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Whisk them together until you have a uniform mixture.
- Take your chicken chunks and place them in a suitable baking dish. Pour the honey marinade over the chicken, ensuring an even coating.
- Once the chicken is marinated, scatter the cranberries evenly around the chicken in the baking dish.
- Place your baking dish in the preheated oven and let the chicken bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Once the chicken is out of the oven, it’s time to spoon small amounts of ricotta cheese over the hot chicken pieces.
Notes
For even cooking, try to cut the chicken pieces to a similar size.
