My goodness how fabulous this recipe is... a huge surprise of flavors! I was just looking thru the frig and pantry trying to figure out what to fix for dinner and had 3 ingredients rice chicken cranberry... and wondered what could be made with this... voila this recipe! I did take heed to the mushy comments on the rice and made the rice separately - didn't want to chance it being soupy and glad I did. The best ever. I used side dish of french cut green beans and tomatoes. Perfect!

Excellent and I am usually not a fan of rice. The ONLY reason that I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 star is because it was not an all time favorite BUT we loved it and would make it again in a heart beat. I agree that the rice was soupy but it was surprisingly not mushy. Next time I will either try less water or uncover it the last 10 min.

We're visiting our daughter and family, and this is what she prepared for dinner --- wonderful!! I will definitely be making this soon myself. She prepared according to recipe with no problems except slightly longer baking time.

Tasted great. For some reason my rice stayed very soupy and did not dry up. It did cook, but even after 55 mins in oven and another 15 mins in microwave, it was still very soupy. Will probably cook rice separate next time and then add to chicken and cranberry mix.

Chicken was very tender had had a nice flavor! I did have to substitute the long grain rice with another chicken rice package I had. As a result the rice was a bit mushy. Will try again with the suggested rice package. Keeper!

I just had to look up this recipe, I lost my recipe card for this..I have been making this recipe for a very long time. I will sometimes substitute pork chops or boneless chicken thighs for the chicken breast. It has a lot of flavor and is a family staple recipe.
