This was so tasty! Love the mix of cranberries with the orange juice and chicken! Cooked for about 4 hours. Didn't thicken the sauce - was too much in a hurry to taste the chicken! Thanks mikekey!

I made this with a pork loin instead of chicken. I was trying to use up some cranberries that I had bought for Christmas. I didn't have any onion so I subbed onion powder but I would like to try it again with the onion. I usually don't like cinnamon in savory dishes but it worked in this one. I doubled the ingredients because the pork loin was so big and I cooked it on high for 5 hours. MMMmmmm

Decided not to rate this as I made an error that most likely changed the overall flavor of the dish. I used part of a very large vidalia which was probably more onion than intended. My results were not sweet as the sauce was a really nice blend between the onions and cranberries. One of the things which was really interesting about this dish is that over time it got better and better with the bright fruity flavor of the cranberries just popping out. So while I liked it on the first day, by the third I was ready to lick the bowl and sad that the leftovers were gone. If you have time and plan, I would suggest making this a day before serving; a great option for those of us who cook for the week on Sunday.

Outstanding must try meal. I followed the recipe using all organic ingredients but I did throw in a cut up carrot and left out the salt (didnt even miss it)and totally forgot to do the flour and water at the end (doubt that it hurt the end result) I usually prefer thighs or drumsticks but I only had boneless so that is what I used. I served it over couscous. This recipe couldnt be easier or healthier. Check out the nutrition facts. This did not taste like a crockpot meal; rather it tasted like something I would have picked up at Wholefoods. Very nice flavor where all the ingredients complimented one another nicely. Nothing was overpowering at all and the chicken itself was extremely tender. I will definitly make this again next week. This is a recipe that will allow me to eat a healthy meal with ease of preparation and superb taste. Thanks so much for that!
