Chicken With Cranberries and Orange

"I got this recipe from 'Joan Bishop's New Zealand Crockpot and Slow Cooker Cookbook'. It's very easy to prepare and is really tasty. The chicken turns out really tender and the dried cranberries come out plump and juicy. The author suggests cooking in a crockpot on low 8-9 hours or on high 4-4 1/2 hours. In a slow cooker she suggests cooking on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-3 1/2 hours. I have a slow cooker, so that's the time I've put in the instructions. I used maryland chicken pieces and also used brandy with the cornflour. The author suggests serving with couscous and a salad, but I prefer serving with rice."

  1. This was really easy and tasty! The orange flavor was a little strong. I would cut back on that next time. This really has an Autumn flavor as it reminds me of foods I like to eat in November. Thanks for sharing! ~Sue

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Welcome to my 'about me' page. I live on the Gold Coast in Australia with my husband, two dogs and our bird. Since we bought our house over two years ago I have developed a taste for cooking and love this website! I spend countless hours on here saving and printing recipes I plan to try out when I find the time (and get a new kitchen!). Apart from cooking, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two dogs. We have a staffy and a staffy crossed with Alaskan Malamut. I love taking them out for a walk and a run on the beach. They have so much energy and can spend hours chasing after a ball and swimming. But both also love nothing more than cuddling up next to us and getting a scratch behind the ears or on the belly. My favourite cookbook is my maternal grandma's cookbook that she recently gave me. Her younger brother made the book for her when he was young and it has been sticky-taped and stuck together so many times in the last 60 or more years. But I love going through it and reading all the recipes she has written and stuck in there. I love making her recipe for date slice. She used to make it every Saturday and my brother and I used to try and help her and clean out the bowl when she'd finished. My other favourite recipe to cook is my late paternal grandmother's recipe for apple shortcake. I've been making it since I was about 12 years old and I know the recipe off by heart. I've finally started to master rolling out the pastry so it comes out thin and crispy.
