- 2 teaspoons light oil

- Add fresh cranberries to the pan and let simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes or until cranberries have started to burst and soften.
- Place chicken strips back into pan and turn so that they get covered in the sauce.
- Let cook on a low simmer for about 5 minutes until sauce is thickened.
