Baked BBQ Chicken with Sweet Potato and Cranberries

This baked BBQ chicken breast recipe is warm, comforting, and full of flavor. Tangy cranberries pair beautifully with the sweet barbecue sauce, while tender sweet potatoes add a delicious balance to the dish. I used homemade barbecue sauce for the chicken, but any of your favorite store-bought or homemade BBQ sauces will work just as well.
