Cranberry Chicken - Sunday Subscriber Series #32- An Easy Recipe That Makes A Meal Fast!

Cranberry Chicken
chicken thighs (skinless, boneless) OR boneless breasts
16 ounce bottle of French Dressing
14 ounce can of whole cranberry sauce
1 packet dry onion soup mix
OPTIONAL:
8 oz. can mushroom pieces & stems (drained & dried)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Preheat oven to 350°.
Line a 9 x 13” pan with heavy duty aluminum foil. Spray the foil with non-stick spray.
Place chicken thighs or breasts into the bottom of the foil lined pan.
Mix the other ingredients together in a bowl. Pour this over the chicken.
Bake at 350° for 60 minutes for thighs or approximately 40 minutes for boneless breasts or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°.
OPTIONAL: After removing the cooked chicken from the baking dish, I poured the extra sauce into a saucepan and brought it to a gentle simmer. In a small bowl, I stirred together about 1/4 cup of water and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. I drizzled the cornstarch, slurry into the boiling sauce mixture, brought back to a gentle boil, and cooked for approximately two minutes until it was slightly thickened. I served this in a bowl on the side with the chicken.

Looks delicious- can’t wait to try this recipe! I think it would also be good with pork chops too.

[@cherylkirby9119]

I agree 💯👍😊 sounds delicious too!! 😋😋👍💞💕

[@CathyDoll-qb7og]

I have to make this. I bet it would be good with a tsp or 2 of orange zest.

[@dejonscales5217]

@lindauehlein1091 That will be real good on pork chops.I agree with you.

[@heidid5275]

@@CathyDoll-qb7og Or cinnamon!

[@CindyKeefer]

I thought I had seen you make this before. I have been a widow for 12 years and only cooking for myself. Your channel gives me ideas. Today I’m making one of my favorites….thanksgiving in a crockpot. Have a 2 qt crockpot that I add a large boneless-skinless turkey thigh ( yeah right you don’t like thighs!), add1 cup of chicken broth. Mix one box of turkey stovetop stuffing with a can of cream of mushroom soup and 1/2 cup of broth. Add on top of turkey and cover to the inside edges. Low for7 hours! You can do chicken. I just put a can of crushed pineapple with a 12 oz bag of cranberries in a pot, added not quite a cup of water and about 3/4 c of sugar. Boil until the cranberries pop and it will gel as it cools. I’ll make a veggie and have dinner for at least 2 nights!

[@noeleenmckay9862]

Thanks for the tip with the aluminum foil Tom

[@genevawaitsbraswell6006]

Tom, I love how you scrap all your cans, bowls, pans etc. I'm a huge fan of scrapping everything to. ❤️ God Bless you both 🙏

[@sourdoughdogs7879]

Alaska sez, “That foil shaping technique is a Genius idea!” I’m adopting it!

[@cynthiajames5656]

Hi Tom and Melissa, I got this recipe about 30 years ago from my supervisor at a Dillard's in St. Joseph, Missouri. My husband and I both love it! I'm a huge cranberry fan, too!

[@SusanCalhoun-m8w]

I’ve done a similar recipe with pork loin in the crockpot. This looks really good.

[@patriciastefforia]

This sounds delicious, but I love cranberries so much that I'm going to add more fresh or frozen cranberries to the recipe.🤤

[@cynromeo]

Hi Tom and Melissa! I have to add that. I love how Tom you always have a shirt on that’s appropriate for what you’re making. Love the cranberry colored T-shirt today! By the way, I grew up in Sudbury Massachusetts next town over had the famous Ken’s steakhouse. I remember going there as a child and my dad would take his business clients there. They came up with all those dressings originally that location. It’s still stands today. Just thought I’d add some interesting history.

[@user-lb8cx7yi3w]

This is similar to the Russian chicken recipe you did of mine early in the subscriber Sunday series. This recipe sounds so good. I plan on preparing this soon. Thank you.

[@eileencostilow7801]

OMG! How awesome to learn how you form the foil to fit the pan. Teacher, thank you for this lesson!!! Married almost 45 years and just now learning this??? You made my day. I have some chicken breasts in the frig and am tempted to make this. Thanks for another educational video.

[@rosevale3218]

I love that you used the spatula to get all the sauce out of the bowl. It looks delicious.

[@debrareitan5305]

Awe, so sweet Tom makes sure it wouldn't burn his wifes mouth!❤❤❤❤❤ That's love!

[@cherylkirby9119]

Plus he lets her sample it first, a true gentleman! 💞 💕💕 Have a beautiful and blessed day! We truly appreciate being welcomed at your table! 🙏🙌🙏❤️

[@Angelia117]

Hi, WOW aluminum foil trick thanks 👍

[@AnnaPace-t5v]

I needed that tip!

[@KimHerron-q1l]

Hello Tom and Melissa, I love watching you. I watch everything you make. Even if it's something I don't like, I still enjoy watching you make it. You both are awesome.

[@cheryldidyoung5033]

Looks yummy! I think it would be awesome over Jasmine rice! You could use that extra sauce too! Can’t wait to try it! Thank you for all of your awesome recipes!

[@tornad0chaser]

Woo! Boy does this look good! Sure cant wait to try this and nice to see a dish featuring cranberry that doesn't necessarily have to be eaten only during the holidays! Also I am so happy to report that I secured a cookbook! It says it will be here this Friday and I can't wait! I am so excited! Thank you so much for bringing this delicious looking cranberry dish and your cookbook to your table for us all to share in! ❤️ 😋

[@JoniRichy]

Wow!!! That looks amazing. Can’t wait to try it. Thank you Tom, Melissa, Raymond, and Monica. Have a blessed Sunday❤❤❤

[@mommabearmaryann8106]

I have been making this for over 30 years. A dear friend I used to work with brought this in for lunch and it was over for me. I feel in love with this. One of my top 5.

[@genevapeddle937]

Apricot Preserves is great also.

[@Jeff-pc7es]

Hello Tom and Melissa may this weekend be filled with joy,peace and love and God get All glory. I love cranberry and can't wait to try this recipe. I love you both as your always in my prayers. Love Jeff from Maine

[@jindrasturgill1194]

Your ability to describe the smell of this, as you prepare it and when it is ready to eat, is so very helpful to those of us with anosmia. And then, as you describe the “burst of flavors,” as you begin to eat it, so enhances the desire to make this dish. Thank you so much for being who you are and reaching out to those of us who may have compromised senses of smell and/or taste. You are magnificently talented teachers.

[@NAT-rm9lu]

This looks amazing...I Love Cranberries served anyway! I can't wait to try this! Thank You, Love your channel, I would be honored to "come sit at your table"

[@HaleyEthengain]

Wow sounds amazing I love cranberries they grow them in Washington state I have seen true cranberry areas where they are grown

[@munkustrap2]

I live in Eastern Massachusetts & see so many people pull to the side of the road at harvesting time to record it. My grandfather used to be a major supplier to Ocean Spray so I grew up eating raw cranberries right from the bog.

[@meriwethersuzanne]

Tom and Melissa I think it would be good with Rice and Broccoli I want to thankyou for sharing it is really good with peach Jam as well have a good week God loves you so do I 🙏🏻❤️🥰🧑‍🍳🎃🍁

[@dianes9416]

Being a senior and alone, perfect meal for one dinner and save to next day or freeze. Thank you and appreciated Melissa's and your opinion even if its so so.

[@donnawest2316]

Love this series of recipes from subscribes.

[@Karen.cook424]

This does really well in the slow cooker too! I love this recipe!

[@rhondaschell3250]

Tom, I love the Ken's Vidalia Onion dressing, too! It is lower in sodium than any other salad dressing out there.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

That recipe sure looks fabulous too Tom and Melissa. Thanks for sharing with and thanks to the couple who shared it with you. Fred

[@roseannem.tockstein8140]

Tom, my heart just melts every time you blow on Melissa's portion. This I think is going to become one of my favorites. Although I personally love chicken thighs.

[@melaneymattson3733]

What a genius idea about the forming the foil for inside the dish!! Never thought of that nor heard of that before, and I'm 76! You can teach an old dog new tricks, LOL!!

[@maryseaman312]

Easy way to get a pan lined? You HAVE IT! For someone like me who has the cooking education of a spoiled college kid, all of these little "tips" are very welcomed! Thank you! I like you idea of "cook once, eat twice." When I was a young mom, I cooked spaghetti by the roaster pan full ... needless to say, my children ate it until it was all gone (because I am a low-impact meal planner, mom) ... my children are MUCH better at cooking than I ... they like to bake too! (I think I set a good example of how NOT to do things in the kitchen) ... I am sure I was totally WRONG! But, I am very proud of what my boys and girls have become ... much better than I do. I am looking forward to your next cookbook! (When you have a good product, PRODUCE!)

[@karenwalker3233]

Oh my goodness I’m making this tonight !!! Thank you Tom and Melissa !

[@laledbetter879]

Great thinking about the crock pot idea Melissa! Will try both ways. Really hoping the crockpot is another option for this recipe. Looks delicious!

[@debbiezombro2839]

Hello Tom and Melissa! Our colored coordinated friend! This dish looks delicious yum! ❤❤

[@PaulaAnderson-o7s]

Oh my goodness! Yum!

[@barbaratankersley7117]

Lol love seeing you taking care of your sweet wife That chicken looks delicious and I will try it one day Thank you for sharing your table with us

[@lisahowe3746]

Came across your videos last night and have been binge watching all day to catch up. That chicken looked so good. I love love cranberries, so will definitely try this.❤

[@LindaSmith-fk4jm]

Love the two of you, love the dishes you cook and i feel i am right in the kitchen with you.

[@dorothylittle3637]

This looks amazing!

[@munkustrap2]

Living in Massachusetts I think it may be a law to not give any recipe with cranberries in it a try 😊

[@CraftyAuntNan]

I’ve made this in a crockpot using a pork loin. It was good, but I like the idea of the thicker sauce from baking in the oven.

[@debrareitan5305]

I've made a similar recipe served over rice or noodles, I'm making this tonight! 😋🤤 Yum!

[@beckystone7994]

This recipe looks delicious and is so easy to put together and bake !! Yummy , I love whole berry cranberry sauce !! ❤️🙏🙋🏻🌈🌈

[@danakapahu4105]

That looks so delicious 😋 thanks for sharing the tip about the foil I learned something new today 😊have a blessed day Tom and Melissa 🙏

[@jonistevens2021]

Omgosh thank you so much for the foil tip..I love it !

[@bonnieclyne5618]

I definitely MUST try this in the crockpot! What a great recipe! Blessings from central Florida.

[@marshawallace7522]

I love Vidalia Dressing on sandwiches and I almost always have a salad for lunch. Thanks, Tom for sharing that Ken's makes one! Your tip for creating a foil liner is great! I do love to cook extra portions for other meals during the week. I am anxious to try this.

[@juttakasapis6408]

Looks yummy

[@tenabanks243]

That looks delicious. Shredded and served over mashed potatoes, rice or noodles. I'm gonna have to try this.

[@judyfrank2551]

That looks really good. I would make it with thighs myself. I'm not a huge fan of chicken breasts because it is usually too dry. I liked Melissa's idea of the crockpot. Instant pot would work too if you are in a hurry. Shred it and serve it over rice or a quick boxed dressing mix. Thanks Tom and Melissa and Raymond and Monica.

[@TheWellnessCuess]

Looks super good ! ⭐

[@phylliswurm9473]

This looks wonderful. And I'll make it for sure and sharing it also. For me happy to keep the mushrooms out of it. Good video again. Thank you.

[@leeallen210]

I love that you try to get every bit of whatever you are using. I cringe when I watch others who don't even attempt to clean out the can or get it all out of the bowl. Maybe it's the teacher in us who scrounged for every last supply for our classes. Or maybe that's the way we were raised, in the time we were raised. Anyway, it makes me feel good when you scrape it all out. Thank you.

[@dandraducharme72]

Yum, I love cranberry sauce on Turkey sandwiches, after Thanksgiving, but this looks delicious. I will have to try this!! Thank you both, for sharing your time and recipes with us all! ❤️🙏❤️

[@beverlyproudfoot583]

I just think that this would make me so happy. ❤

[@AZCanner]

Sounds like a great Thanksgiving dish with turkey. I can handle 6 ingredients. I don't know if you saw my reply; but, it was a Holstein and mine bakes 12 at a time. Bake a potato to go with all that good sauce in the pan.

[@SylviaMogensen]

I love watching Tom cooking and Melissa writing down the recipes and I try to copy them on my computer and print them out for myself and I share them with my boyfriend in Ga. Also keep up the good work

[@deejo2]

When Melissa mentioned the crock pot, it made me think of trying it in the Instant Pot but then I don't see a need. As you said, the sauce may not thicken & what can be easier than putting it in a pan/dish & sliding it into the oven?! I like using my oven in the fall & winter. This chicken looks & sounds delicious. Thank you guys for another great recipe!😊

[@SylviaMogensen]

Thanks for the tip on how to fix wrapping the foil around the pan like that that’s smart doing it like that Tom

[@marilyncarr6630]

One of my favorite recipes we except I have never used the red pepper or mushrooms. Will try next time I make this. Still waiting on my cookbook; for some reason Amazon said maybe next Thursday 😢

[@n.caronnelson9690]

How about the lovely Vidalia onion dressing instead of the Freach?

[@elizabethbaldwin8488]

Same recipe as the 1970s recipe that has apricot preserves instead of cranberry

[@laurreneberry3480]

This has everything my taste buds like. I will try this.

[@janeystahlman-davis5695]

Oh my WORD i think I can smell it in Kansas. Can hardly wait to try it

[@tbarc1]

Winner winner chicken dinner! I bet this is def a winner and I've been craving cranberries!

[@Jo-AnnMcKenzie]

Got my Cookbook yesterday!! Love it!

[@marysharvey]

I’ve made this recipe for years, and sometimes use Turkey Breasts when I can find them. Love your channel.

[@lisanewman3543]

I use the same recipe in the crockpot/slow cooker. I leave the mushrooms out. It's a family favorite.

[@user-lb8cx7yi3w]

Got my cookbook ordered!

[@melaneymattson3733]

I love that Ken's Vidalia Onion dressing. I use it to make the best coleslaw!! Just add it to a bag of chopped cabbage blend, add just some S&P and perfect!! Try it and let me know what you think. Melaney from SoCal.

[@claudiafiore2789]

Ummm; can’t wait to try this! 😋 There used to be a restaurant in my neighborhood that had a version of this dish. The only difference is that the chicken was cubed. It’s been years since that place closed and I had forgotten about it until recently. And then your recipe popped up out of the blue! What a coincidence. -Tom, I loved how you thoughtfully blew off the bite for your wife. What a gentleman. And your reaction “a taste explosion”! 😄 Made me laugh. We will definitely be trying this one. Thanks for all your efforts and enthusiasm, it’s always fun to watch you. I would like to see more of Melissa sometime; how about the two of you switch places on and off? (Just a suggestion.) Have a great Sunday! Best wishes from Seattle 😊

[@judypowell8984]

Love the foil paper hack❤️

[@PretirementDays]

Perfect combination

[@GrammieBear5]

I've seen this alot but have never tried. I think I'm gonna this week. Looks yummy

[@sharronwolfe7711]

Oh that looks good! I would also use chicken breasts rather than thighs. Add a salad, a veggie or even rice pilaf, and some French bread and you have a delicious dinner! Definitely adding to our recipe file!

[@anntickle1587]

This looks delicious love you guys

[@SuperDenise128]

Sounds like a WINNER! I buy boneless thighs!

[@lindaholder2222]

Tom i have been using that Cook for two days im Gluten-free so i make all my meals before hand I just love your channel ❤😊

[@Sandy600-CT]

That sounds delicious. I always use whole berry cranberry sauce.

[@RataPerry]

This would be so good with brown rice or certain pastas along with broccoli. Yummy

[@melissab1044]

This looks delicious!

[@ebudny7]

Thanks Melissa. That drip was worrying me so much! Also, I am definitely going to make this recipe!

[@joyt7754]

This looks delicious! I might add some orange zest because I love the cranberry/orange flavor profile.

[@dejonscales5217]

Hello Tom and Melissa, that looks so delicious 😋 .I wonder if it would it really taste good if you put it on a turkey for Thanksgiving. Take care and see you in your guys' next video. ❤❤❤

[@55JWS]

Looks delicious have to try it

[@michele_290]

yum! I think that sauce would be delicious on Thanksgiving turkey!

[@lindahays8444]

That looks delicious.

[@NorthernMike-1]

I saw this recipe on KZbin prior to your presentation and I bought The ingredients needed. Good to see others giving it a vote of confidence! You made it with Boneless Breasts. I really think Thighs or Drumsticks (even wings) would be best. They will stay moist. I would add (in addition to the Cayenne) some Smoked Paprika and W Sauce. Let you know how it comes out!

[@70sladyalways25]

That looks delicious! I will try it for sure. I normally use tenders to save some time. 😊

[@marylandsmann1175]

I can't wait to try this

[@bowed305]

You had me at cranberry, and it doesn't hurt that I also like chicken dishes. I'm wondering if homemade cranberry sauce might give you the tang you were seeking because it wouldn't have all the sweeteners of the canned stuff. I was thinking this would be great over rice, and my mind kept screaming this needs some orange in it somehow. Awesome contribution to the group.

[@AnnaPace-t5v]

Reminds me of Russian Dressing Chicken.

[@GrammieBear5]

Vogt my cook book yesterday and I Love It.

[@DebbieBorsick]

My favorite dressing is the Ken's onion

[@marytillison8392]

Tom I think I know why you don’t like the Thighs cause of the back side of thigh when you pick out that one place cause it taste like liver! I remember you saying a story about liver! You know what I don’t blame you! I love every piece of the Chicken! Will be trying this recipe Thank You Sunday Viewer!

[@beabrennan]

Great recipe I’m going to try this with thighs-cause I love thighs

[@BrendaMoore-r6v]

Great dish I will make that

[@kayvillarosa7683]

Looks great! Unfortunately I am allergic to cranberries. I will have to experiment with different fruits.

[@lucindalandphere860]

OMG TOO FUNNY ! when you said you " love chicken " , your video went to ads ) I said " me too , but I don't like thighs " ! when your video came back on you said " but I don't like thighs " ! I almost spit my iced coffee out ! I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT DOESN'T LIKE THIGHS !! to me , the thighs are too strong tasting & it makes me wanna gag !!
