FANTASTIC! A MUST for your kitchen cookbook! There's just two of us and let me tell you my man loves his new bride all the more when I fill our home with the wonderful aroma of this dish. This is a great meal to work with kids on in that it's very easy to make--if you're not kitchen savy try this one--you'll wow the crowds! USE THE WHOLE-JELLIED CRANBERRY SAUCE-IT'LL MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE
I cut recipe in 1/2 used 3 chicken breasts 1/2 can of jellied cranberries 1/2 packet of Lipton Onion Soup Mix and 1/2 cup of Western (light) dressing. Baked for one hour with foil on 15 minutes with foil off - DEE-LISH!!! Would make this again..... soon.
I didn't have any french dressing or onion soup mix so I made the dressing and chopped an onion and added it to the mixture. We had it with salad and plain white rice and it was very good.
I needed a recipe for a snowy fall day & this recipe was perfect! The chicken was so moist & flavorful with plenty of sauce to spoon over the top. If you have members of your family who don't care of cranberries but you do make this! You wouldn't even know that the recipe was titled cranberry chicken if you saw it & the taste is so dynamic that you can't really pin-point what's in it. Only use 1 packet of the onion soup mix. That is plenty & it won't over power like other reviewers have complained about.
Great recipe. Used jellied cranberries ff Catalina dressing and 2 T dried minced onions in place of the soup mix to cut down on the sodium. The sauce is delicious and had over brown rice.
AWESOME! I LOVE this recipe and even my two year old and very picky four year old liked it - he had thirds! I took suggestions and only used one onion packet and whole cranberry sauce. I actually used Kraft FREE French dressing and chicken thighs for this and it was delicious. Perfect combo of flavors a little sweet not sour but a little kick. Will definitely be making this again!
My mom gave me this same recipe years ago. We use a lower temp though and cook for a few hours and the chicken is so tender! You can readily adapt it to a crockpot too. WOnderful flavor even though the ingredient list seems odd you won't be disappointed. It's a great company favorite too. Everyone loves it and will want the recipe.
This was a last minute dish for our Christmas dinner since I was unable to go shopping for the usual turkey. So needless to say I did not marinate for the recommended 8 hours. That said this was quite possibly one of the best chicken recipes that I have ever made and this is now going to be our traditional Christmas meal for years to come. My hubby who loves chicken could not stop raving about this which is saying something since he rarely mentions anything about what I cook. He said it was better than anything you can get in a restaurant even. The only change I made was to make the French dressing from scratch (using one of the recipes here at Allrecipes) and I used bone in chicken breast. The chicken was delicious and juicy. Definite Keeper.
This was a great addition to my recipes! I can see this sauce with so many things! Ham glaze grilled foods pork chops ribs.... and it goes so well over rice! My family LOVED it!! Thank you so much for submitting it! Oh BTW I used chicken legs still came out GREAT!:o)
If I could give it 0 stars I would. It must be an aquired taste. I could not even finish it. My husband said it was "ok". Which is his very polite way of saying terrible.
