This recipe called to me, because I make slow cooker chicken ALL THE TIME. It is so stinking easy. It comes from the Successful Farming Magazine from a lady in Lebanon, Indiana. That's close to me. The recipe has some odd things in it, so read on.
Ingredients:
2.5-3 lbs. chicken breasts, thighs, or legs
1 T oil
1 16 oz can whole cranberry sauce
1/4 cup spicy-sweet French salad dressing (Catalina)
2 T dry onion soup mix
1 T cornstarch
1. Rinse chicken; pat dry.
2. In large skillet, brown chicken in hot oil.
3.Place chicken in crockery cooker.
4. In small bowl combine half the cranberry sauce, salad dressing and soup mix. Refrigerate rest of cranberry sauce.
5. Pour mixture over chicken. Cover; cook on low heat setting for 6 hours or high heat setting for 3 hours.
6. Stir cornstarch into remaining cranberry sauce.
7. If cooking on low, turn to high. Stir in cornstarch/cranberry sauce mixture. Cover and cook on 30-45 minutes more or until thick and bubbly.
8. Serve chicken and sauce over hot cooked noodles or rice. Serves 4.
I just now realized I didn't make it like it said to. I always just assume most slow cooker recipes are throw everything in, so I didn't do the part where I mixed the cornstarch in and added the mixture later. I imagine that just changed the consistency some, the taste should be the same. It was pretty good. Maybe just a little too sweet for me. Hungry Runner Boy liked it, but said it wasn't his favorite.
tl;dr--eh, okay.
I've had something like this before but not in the crock pot. It was ok and I have occasionally thought about making it again, but we never have onion soup or french dressing.
ReplyDeleteWhy do your recipes always have a "tl;dr" at the end?
