Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Researchers believe that cranberries contain substances that prevent infection-causing bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract walls. However, store-bought cranberry juice is typically all sugar - so make sure to stick with straight cranberries.

Ingredients

5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
8 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 2 pounds)
1 package (12 ounces) fully cooked Italian chicken sausage links, cut into 1/2-in. slices
4 shallots, finely chopped
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
3 day-old croissants, cubed (about 6 cups)
1/2 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
