Delicious!
Brandi Beck
I’ve made this so many times over the years. My favorite method is the crockpot. The chicken is super juicy and tender and the sauce begins to caramelize
Leslie Harper
This is a quick dish with good flavor. Excellent when you’re short on time and energy on a cold fall or winter night.
Tami Walker
I used 6 bone in chicken thighs and removed the skin. There was still plenty of sauce. Like another reviewer, I added orange zest and juice. We enjoyed it and it was easy to prepare, I will definitely make again.
Jared Marshall
No changes. I will definitely make this again! Served with wild rice. Wonderful flavor without disguising the taste of the chicken. Happy cooking!

I have made this recipe several times now. I have changed a couple of things. First, I only use 1 package of the dry onion soup mix because, for me, 2 packages is too much onion flavor. The other thing I do is marinate the chicken breasts in the mixture for about 3 to 4 hours before baking. I use a glass bake pan and put the chicken and sauce in it to marinate. I’ve never had a problem with the chicken drying out. I love the recipe! It’s a hit in my household!

Fabulous, easy meal! I served it with rice and asparagus to a crowd of 10. Great hit! Easy to make, I combined the excess sauce with a corn starch slurry and created a wonderful gravy! I highly recommend this recipe..DELICIOUS!

This recipe is easy and very tasty! We like it best with dark meat, but it was good on white meat, too. I made mine in the instant pot, and used a homemade French dressing. If your chicken has skin on it, take it off, as it will make the dish too greasy.

This is my Go To recipe for dinner parties or romantic dinners! ( My BF LOVED it when I cooked it for him early on!). So easy AND delicious! I use Uncle Ben’s long grain and wild rice Original Recipe…not the quick 5 minute one and serve it along with Orange scented green beans.
Daniel Ingram
Definitely a hit. Wife AND both kids stated Not a One and Done.
Michelle Castro
Everybody that ate it when we made it loved it.
Joseph Edwards
So easy and so delicious! I served it over rice with a side of green beans. Will make again!
Kevin Allison

Ashley Byrd
GREAT!! This was one of my meats I made for thanksgiving last year and again this year I want one for trying new things this different but it turned out great for me to have made and then serving it again this year

I used Catalina dressing. I use half a cup instead of a whole cup. I use 1/2 a package of onion soup mix. One can whole cranberry sauce. I mix it together the night before because it becomes thicker. I have made it several times this way because the sauce from the original recipe is too thin and too much onion soup takes away from the cranberry sauce.
Lauren Sheppard
Best chicken ever!
Tina Rose
Tried this recipe tonight on a quick whim. I had the can of cranberry sauce, 1 pack of onion soup mix but I used plain Greek yogurt in place of a dressing (which I improvise with other recipes esp in place of sour cream) thru some fresh cranberries on top Excellent over rice
Jennifer Lopez
loved this recipe! Everyone I have served this dish to has liked it. I did use only one dry onion soup mix.
Alexis Greer
I did not care for this recipe.
Jerry Beck
When I read this recipe I thought “what a weird combination”. We had it for dinner last night and we loved it! It was super easy to make and looked just like the picture on our dinner plates. I added just a pinch of salt on my serving, but the younger member of our family, who has more taste buds, liked it as is. Will definitely be making this again!
Bonnie Crawford
On one hand, the chicken was very juicy and did smell good in the oven, and it’s super easy, the sauce is just.. strange and way too much.
