dmarkey 0 Posted August 21, 2000 This is quick, easy, DH and kid-friendly!!  Enjoy, we did! Diane  CRANBERRY CHICKEN Makes 8 servings. WW POINTS: 7 1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken (I put in frozen) 1 can (16 ounces) whole berry (or jellied) cranberry sauce 1 bottle (8 ounces) fat-free French, Thousand or Catalina salad dressing (I used fat-free Catalina) 1 package (1 1/2 ounces) dried onion soup mix (optional) (I used 1/2 package)  Spray the crockpot with Pam. Mix together all ingredients in crockpot except for the chicken, then added the chicken and mixed to coat the chicken with the sauce. One pot cooking = less dishes I cooked it for approximately 8 hours.  Great over rice, mashed potatoes or noodles?? (These would be extra points)  Could replace the chicken with pork chops, hotdogs, or ???  Can also be done in the oven: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange chicken in a 9- by 13-inch baking pan. In a medium bowl, mix the rest of the ingredients. Pour mixture over the chicken and bake, 45 minutes for boneless chicken or 1 hour for bone-in chicken. 342.28 Cal (12.10% from Fat, 42.40% from Protein, 45.50% from Carb); 35.62 g Protein; 4.52 g Tot Fat; 38.19 g Carb; 0.95 g Fiber; 30.69 mg Calcium; 1.37 mg Iron; 534.07 mg Sodium; 40.46 IU Vit A; 1.52 mg Vit C; 96.74 mg Cholesterol  Diane  237 - 1/3/6 198.8 - 12/30/08  "Live each day as if it's the BEST day of your life!"

anninsd 0 Posted August 25, 2000 I've made this on top of the stove. I have not used the onion soup mix in mine. That would be interesting. I wonder if the points would be differenet with out the onion mix. It is very good and so easy. ann p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maddie 0 Posted August 26, 2000 I'm learning the joys of crock-pot cooking. Doesn't get much easier or quicker! This cranberry chix sounds delicious...the cranberries make me think about the coming holidays. (This BCB "turkey" just might be a whopping 20 lbs lighter this yr (maybe! maybe!! Getting back to the recipe at hand...is there a less salty dry onion soup mix available? I'm sensitive to salt but would still like to have the flavors the dry soups add. As always, thank you!

LittleLulu 0 Posted September 4, 2000 Have this in the crock pot now and it smells wonderful. . The family wants to know what it is, they guessed the onion soup, but I'm not telling the rest until after they taste it. They may not want to try it if I tell them it's cranberry sauce and salad dressing. Â ------------------ Jill~~ Reputation is what men and women think of us.

Guest AmyinFL Posted October 26, 2000 This sounds really good, perfect for the fall, and so easy. I started putting this in the crockpot this morning then realized I was out of FF french! So I put in a bottle of FF honey mustard instead, hope it turns out good. Didnt feel like driving to the store. I'll let y'all know    ------------------ Amy in FL 196/183/145-50ish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Mclermont Posted January 15, 2001 I made it with Thousand Island dressing. My crew felt it was a bit too sweet. I would like to adjust it to try again... Maybe a different salad dressing would help.  ------------------ Michelle Clermont Previous losses 99/2000 from 225.8 -> 187.8 FRESH START 2001 Goals  187.8/184.6/169(10%) 145 Final goal.  Join me in the International Forum for some fun battles between the Canadian and U.K. members!  Slow and Steady Wins The Race!!

Charski 0 Posted September 10, 2001 My family LOVES this recipe. I make it with the jellied cranberry and the FF Catalina, and the full pkt. of onion soup mix. It's really SO good. Â Made it with 8 boneless, well trimmed loin pork chops the other night, added some garlic powder, 2 tablespoons of SF Smuckers Orange Marmalade, and a little ground pepper. Oh man, it doesn't get much better than this! Â Char Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
