The 3-Ingredient Crockpot Wonder: Cranberry Chicken That Disappears in Minutes
Equipment:
- 4 to 6-quart slow cooker (Crockpot)
Ingredients:
- 2 to 3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or chicken thighs)
- 1 can (14 oz) jellied cranberry sauce
- 1 packet (1 oz) dry French onion soup mix (Note: If you prefer a tangier barbecue-style vibe, you can swap this for 8 oz of Russian or Catalina salad dressing!)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Layer the Chicken
Place your chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of your slow cooker insert. There is no need to add oil or water; the chicken and the sauce will create plenty of natural juices as they cook.
2. Dump the Magic Combination
Open your can of jellied cranberry sauce and dump it right on top of the chicken. Use a fork or spoon to slightly break up the cylinder shape so it spreads out evenly.
3. Sprinkle the Secret Ingredient
Evenly empty the packet of dry French onion soup mix directly over the cranberry sauce and chicken.
4. Set It and Forget It
Cover the slow cooker with its lid.
