Slow Cooker Cranberry Chicken
One of the reasons I love this Crock Pot recipe for chicken with cranberries is it has four ingredients only. That's not a typo — just four ingredients. And with three of them, you're opening a seasoning packet, a can of cranberry sauce or a bottle of Catalina dressing.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 14 ounces whole berry cranberry sauce
- 1 ounce onion soup mix approximately one envelope
- 8 ounces Catalina dressing
Instructions
- Place your chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
- In a mixing bowl or large measuring cup, combine the cranberry sauce, onion soup mix and Catalina dressing.
- Pour over the chicken breasts.
- Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 4 hours.
- Garnish with fresh cranberries and parsley if desired.
Notes
When making this recipe, you can use whole berry cranberry sauce or jellied cranberry sauce. Or a combination of both, if you'd like. I haven't tried it with dried cranberries but if I do, I'll update this section to let you know how it turned out.
In addition to making this Crock Pot recipe with chicken breasts, you can use other proteins as well. This should cook up beautifully using chicken thighs or even pork chops.
