Instead of craisins, i used chopped red delicious apple, and thumbs up! One problem though, mine made WAY too much liquid, and it didn't take nearly 6 hours--mine was fully cooked in about 4 hours on low, but the chicken was hot from the skillet when i put it in. To soak up the liquid, i just stirred in more cornbread crumbs. Totally Yummy flavor. Lots of raves from the fam.

This recipe was very appealing to me because it uses bone-in chicken. I used thigh/drumstick leg quarters, but took the skin off and trimmed as much fat as possible. After reading the other review, I also doubled the amount of stuffing by adding some frozen cornbread crumbs that I had on hand. The addition of the cranberries was wonderful. I buttered the crockpot to be able to reduce the liquid by half, and tucked a few pieces of unpeeled garlic around the chicken. The resulting dish was really delicious, with the chicken very moist and tender. It did take the full 6 hours for the chicken to cook through, but the quarters were quite big. Thanks for posting this...we'll be making this again!

I made this without the celery and cranberries and used dehydrated onions and boneless/skinless chicken breasts because that is what I had on hand. After reading the other reviews, I think I will either use one less cup of broth or add another box of stuffing mix when making this again. The stuffing was a bit mushy, but my daughter and I loved it anyway. By using approximately two pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, the meal was ready in about four hours. My husband did not like the mushiness; other than that, he thought it was good (and he's a very picky eater when it comes to food textures). Thanks for a recipe that was super simple!

Wonderful flavor - and that's even leaving out the onion and celery! I used 6 leg quarters and two breasts in a lightly greased 6 quart slow cooker. Put chicken stuffing mix in the bottom, sprinkled on the craising, layered the skinned and trimmed chicken pieces on top. Sprinkled on a little dried minced onion, celery salt, and pepper to make up for not using sauteed onion and celery. Poured about 1-1/2 cups broth over the top and cooked on low for 5-1/2 hours. Chicken was fall-apart tender! There was a lot of liquid, so quickly mixed in another box of stuffing, which was just perfect. Craisins almost melt into the stuffing - subtle but delicious. My husband proclaimed this recipe a keeper!
