had a ton of leftover cranberry sauce from TG. this was a great application for it. i just added in all the seasonings called for. used chicken thighs (fatty skin removed). plus a bit of coriander & cumin & a little cayenne for kick. didn't need the cornstarch, as it was plenty thick. family loved it. will definitely make this again.

I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
