Cranberry Orange Chicken - Crock Pot image

OUT OF THIS WORLD! Tender and delicious! Flavor Galore! This is one of my favorite dishes. I have found that bone-in chicken gives more flavor. I use the following method for fall-off-the-bone chicken. After placing the lid on crock pot place a large double folded kitchen towel over top of lid letting it fall over sides of crock pot. This allows no steam to escape. The sauce in this dish makes good 'gravy' over cooked rice. Makes a pretty dish to serve guests.

Time 6h15m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 chicken breasts (bone-in)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 onion, chopped
1 celery rib, chopped
1 (15 ounce) whole berry cranberry sauce
3 ounces orange juice
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons chili sauce or 3 tablespoons barbecue sauce
1 orange, sliced
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl place onion, celery, cranberry sauce, orange juice, dry mustard, cinnamon, lemon juice, honey, brown sugar and chili sauce. Stir and pour over chicken breasts.
  • Place lid on crock pot and top with kitchen towel using instructions in description above. (My crock pot is only 3 months old and I still do this.) Turn crock pot on high and allow to cook 1 hour. Turn on low for 3 or 4 hours. NOTE: I have tried leaving crock pot on high the entire time and this dish was done in 3 1/2 hours.
  • Lift lid and quickly place orange slices over chicken without stirring. Cook an additional hour.

  • Serve over cooked rice and enjoy!

This recipe is a waste of time. The chicken was tough and the sauce was bland.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a little too sweet for my taste, but I think I just added too much cranberry sauce. Next time I'll use less and see how it turns out.

I'm not a big fan of chicken, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The sauce was tangy and sweet, and the chicken was cooked perfectly.

I made this recipe for a potluck and it was a huge success. Everyone loved the chicken and the sauce. I'll definitely be making it again.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they were cooked through in about 4 hours on low. The sauce was a little too tart for my taste, so I added a bit of honey.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The chicken is always cooked perfectly and the sauce is delicious. I like to serve it with mashed potatoes and green beans.
