Chicken with Watermelon,  Cranberry, Coconut and Fig Chutney

Flavorful and low in fat chicken dish that incorporates end of summer and early fall fruit.

Ingredients:

1 lb. fresh cranberries
1 c. sugar substitute
Zest from 1 orange
Juice from 1 orange
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. chopped fresh or dried figs
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. fresh minced ginger
1/2 c. unsweetened shaved coconut
2 c. chopped seedless watermelon
6 lbs of Chicken

Instructions:

1Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Once hot, cook chicken whole or in pieces (thighs/legs/breast) in a roasting pan (with lid.) Add 1-2 inches of water to keep from sticking. Bake for 45 mins until fully cooked.
2Place all the ingredients except the watermelon in a heavy saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Simmer the mixture until thick and cooked down, about 3 min. Remove from heat and cool. Stir in watermelon and refrigerate or serve immediately with chicken pieces once chicken is cooked.
