Slow Cooker Cranberry Chicken
I've been married for 42 years and have 3 children and 2 grandchildren. I love to collect cookbooks and try new recipes. This dish is delicious, easy and good when served with rice and a vegetable side dish. Everyone in the family loves it!—Edith Holliday, Flushing, Michigan

I though the cranberry sauce or the BBQ sauce would be overpowering one way or the other. Not at all. Flavors came together well and nothing was overpowering. Good recipe.
My husband and I enjoyed this for dinner tonight. It was simple to make, a good flavor, and the chicken was very tender. I used chicken breasts. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
This can be prepared with a small turkey breast as well as chicken.We often don't cook a whole turkey for the holidays and this is great recipe to use instead.I also use leftover homemade cranberry sauce and instead of rice accompany it with holiday stuffing. I prepare extra stuffing and then freeze it for later to enjoy delicious dinnerslike this one.
Awesome, a hint of orange added is also good...you can use juice and/or grated peel.
Loved this recipe. The chicken was moist and delicious.
I have used this recipe three times in the month or so since I "found" it online. I used a boneless pork roast each time, and used the jellied cranberry sauce. The only thing I did differently is to season, flour and brown the roast before adding the rest of the ingredients. This dish was fabulous! I made it for a family of 9 who were moving, and they loved it too! The roast was moist and the sauce is so good I could just eat it with a spoon - and I don't like cranberries!
Very good. I used leftover homemade whole cranberry sauce from Thanksgiving and a combination of Bull's Eye BBQ sauce and Sweet Baby Rays.
This recipe is a keeper! It is delicious and couldn't be easier. If you like rice, I think that suggestion is a good one, but my husband and son prefer a baked potato. I served the extra sauce on the side and we actually heaped it on the slices of pork roast as it was delicious! I used a 3 lb. boneless pork roast cut in half for this recipe, and used my slow cooker, but did put it in the oven for the last hour or so at 325. The sauce was delicious but too thin, so I thickened it with cornstarch mixed in water before even removing the roast from the pan. Oh, I also used the cranberry jell as we do not care for the whole berries. Just whisked it with the barbewque sauce and added the rest. Did i mention this is a beautiful sight? it will make you look like a pro! Thanks for sharing, Edith!
Loved this in the slow cooker, came out perfect. Would love to try and thicken the sauce up a bit though.
I baked this in a 375 degrees oven for 1 hour 15 min. It was sooooo good! It received high marks from all my family, including the kids!
