Crock Pot Cranberry Chicken

Thanks Lennie, for posting such a great tasting recipe. I loved the cranberries and sauce in this dish. I used boneless, skinless thighs and cooked for about 7 hours. It was almost too easy and I thought maybe I would feel some guilt about not slaving away in the kitchen....but no! It was so good. It is indeed a dish to serve company, and I will do just that. Thanks for sharing.

I have made this a number of times, and we really like it. I prepare my own cranberry sauce from fresh cranberries, using the entire bag or cranberries, so I normally have more than 1 cup of sauce. You definitely need to add in cornstarch or the sauce is too runny. I just add it in right at the beginning, stirring it into the sauce mixture. Usually at least a couple of tbsps. I have made it both with boneless chicken breasts and thighs. Both work out well.

This recipe is the best! It's so easy to make, I almost feel guilty serving it to my husband and friends, but the rave reviews I get each time I make it assuage that somewhat! I like it with spicy mustard, and it's turned out great whether made with powder or "grainy" boullion. I use regular boullion and omit the salt, though. It works just fine. This dish always comes up when my husband is discussing his favorite foods or how well I cook. Thanks so much!

Awesome dish, Anne Hamilton led me to this great dish. Once you get the skin off the chicken it's smooth sailin'! I didn't add salt, it didn't need it at all. I only used 6 chicken thighs, but I think next time I'll cook more... the leftover meat would be great for sandwiches! The sauce (cranberries, onions and all) was also fabulous on plain rice!

This is one of the easiest recipes I have ever made for dinner. I made the following changes: I used 6 thighs but kept the other amounts the same. Didn't have beef soup mix so I used onion, and substituted rice vinegar for apple cider. Cooked on high for 4 hours, which I thought was a bit too much but DH and my sister just loved it. Served with some mushroom fried rice (which was so good I posted the recipe) and stir fried pea sprouts. Thanks Lennie, your recipes never disappoint.
