There are quite a few recipes for Cranberry Chicken, but this one is a little different. I love this chicken! I cook on low in crock pot for at least 6 hours, the yummmy scent fills the house. From Recipetips.com

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h45m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

10 pieces chicken breasts (skinless)
15 ounces whole berry cranberry sauce (1 can)
3/4 ounce dry onion soup mix (1 envelope)
8 ounces Catalina dressing (fat free)
fresh rosemary, a few needles from the sprig (optional)
1/4 cup dried cranberries (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • Mix onion soup, whole cranberry relish and Catalina salad dressing together in a bowl.
  • Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the baking dish and pour the cranberry mixture over the chicken. Sprinkle a little fresh rosemary and dried cranberries over the chicken, if desired.
  • Cover the dish and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the cover and bake an additional 15-20 minutes. Serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and more nutrients than frozen or canned cranberries.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: Make sure the chicken is cooked through before adding the cranberries and sauce. This will help to prevent the chicken from becoming dry and tough.
  • Don't overcook the cranberries: Cranberries should be cooked just until they are softened and burst. Overcooking can make them mushy.
  • Use a good quality Catalina dressing: The Catalina dressing is a key ingredient in this recipe, so make sure you use a good quality dressing that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Serve immediately: Catalina Cranberry Chicken is best served immediately after it is made. The chicken will start to dry out if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Catalina Cranberry Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the cranberries and Catalina dressing add a sweet and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
