Nice dish with a Thanksgiving feel to it.  I love making it in the fall.
The recipe comes from Addie Halfmann, Food Writer. Cooking Consultant askaddie.T@charter.net "Fall Favorites 2004"

INGREDIENTS
8 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/3 cup flour
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. white pepper
3 Tbsp. butter
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen whole cranberries
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 cup water
1 Tbsp. floud
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground allspice
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
2 Tbsp. cider vinegar

DIRECTIONS
  1. Rinse chicken with cold water; pat dry with paper towels In shallow dish, combine 1/3 cup flour, 1 tsp. salt and white pepper. Coat chicken with flour mixture.
  2. In large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add chicken; cook, turning once to brown on both sides, about 10 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet; set aside.
  3. In same skillet, combine cranberries, brown sugar and water; cook over medium heat until mixture comes to full boil. In small bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients; slowly stir into cranberry mixture.
  4. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce comes to full boil again and thickens. Boil 1 minute; reduce heat to low. Return chicken to skillet. Cook, turning once, until chicken is done and fork tender, 10 to 15 minutes. 
  5. Serve cranberry sauce over chicken with green beans and baked potato or rice pilaf, if desired. I love to eat this dish with a sweet potato.
