That sound delicious! I'm always looking for new and yummy ways to use the chicken breasts I get on sale in a slow cooker. Thank you for posting!!!
I remember you talking about this recipe, but hadn't remembered exactly how you made it, so I'm glad you shared again! I will definitely have to add this to my recipe collection! Loving all of your great recipes!
Thanks!!! I bought Catalina dressing when it was on sale, thinking I would use it in the jelly/onion soup recipe. The cranberry sauce version sounds way yummier. I can't wait to try it.
Found you through beautyandbedlam.com, and mmmm, this sounds good! I think I'll try this recipe this weekend.
Cranberries and chicken love the two together, THANKS!!! for the YUMMY!!! and EASY!!! recipe. Geri
That looks so yummy and I bet using a turkey breast would make it seem like Thanksgiving dinner!
Thanks for sharing.

Looks great! I'm always looking for good crock-pot recipes. I'm going to try this one. Thanks!
I did half crock pot n half oven, because of time. I also used skinless ckn legs. Next time will try jellied cranberries. Daughter didn’t want the whole berries. Everyone loved it. I served it over rice w/ remaining sauce. Put crushed red peppers on top for Sweet n Spicy version! Will def make again!! Very easy n yummy!! Thanks!!
Looks good. Thank you for linking up.
Hi there,
I went to the store and couldn’t find Dry onion soup??? Is this in a packet? And where exactly would I find this?
Hi Juliene ~ yes… the dry onion soup is in a packet. Lipton is one of the brands that is often sold at the grocery store. This is often found on the soup aisle.
I hope this helps!

Should I set the temp on low or high for three hours? Do you add water to the chicken or just let it sit for three hours be itself?
Hi Shauna ~ set your crock pot on high.
And… no water is needed ~ just cook the chicken in there by itself.
Later, you’ll drain the juices from the chicken and add in the sauce mixture.
Hope this helps!

How can I use chicken legs and thighs in this recipe? Just got some on sale and would like to try this recipe.
Hi CC ~ I’ve used dark meat in this recipe before, however the sauce soaks into skinless meat the best. I’d just suggest removing the skin from the thighs or legs prior to cooking. I hope that tip helps!
