Got the recipe from my retired neighbor, and the taste is wonderful The second-day leftovers can be layered with mashed potatoes/whatever, turkey slices, any cooked veggie with some of the remaining sauce on top and re-heated. You could use a larger slow cooker and double the recipe easily for company. Great with a boneless breast or rolled white and dark meat turkey.

JOHN'S CROCK POT CRANBERRY CHICKEN



John's Crock Pot Cranberry Chicken image

A delicious recipe for the upcoming fall season. I like using chicken thighs rather than breasts in the crock pot as they stand up better to the longer cooking and add more flavor to the dish. Do not overcook the thighs. Six hours is about as long a cooking time as you'll need. I actually use a little less time. This recipe was posted by Wolverine on the TOHBB.

Tips:
