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
3 tablespoons cold water

Steps:

  • Rub salt onto chicken breasts and place in bottom of crock pot.
  • 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 cranberry orange chicken is a keeper! It's so easy to make and the flavor is amazing. I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs and they came out so tender and juicy. The sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. I served it over rice and
