• TODAY’S TIP. . . .

    If you are going to freeze a loaf of bread, make sure you include a piece of paper towel in the package to absorb moisture. This will keep the bread from becoming mushy when it is thawed out!

  1. I love these crockpot recipes that you can just fix and leave—and the house always smells so good! This looks easy and delicious, Judy. Thank you!

  2. Sounds delicious! …but my family won’t wait until done! :) I can’t manage to be a slow cooker.

    • do you work outside your home?? i started things in the morning before i left (or when i came home for lunch) so it would be ready for dinner

  3. This was DELICIOUS! Next time I will use a crock pot liner though because the sauce was hard to clean out of the crock pot.

  4. Wow, this looks absolutely delicious. Definitely my kind of recipe: put in a slow cooker and come back to it after a day of work!

    I will definitely try this next week after we’ve done the weekly shop!

  5. I made this for my family tonight. It was DELICIOUS. I can’t wait to try more recipes from your blog. Sooooo yummy.

  6. This looks so delicious and I love using crockpot because all you need to do is dump everything in and you’re able to have a yummy meal right after work or the next day when you wake up! ;)

    PS: I think I’ll need to invest in a bigger one now as both my girls are grown up. That small mini crockpot I have was to cook baby porridge for my girls when they were able to have solid foods. :P
    Have a great weekend!

    • I could not live without my crockpots! I have five. I use them at Thanksgiving and Christmas to keep stuff warm and also to cook in. Love my crockpots!

      • Gosh! FIVE crockpots!? That’s really alot (to me)! But I love your idea using all your crockpots to keep your food warm during these occasions. ;)

      • I too could not live without my crockpots and liners. The liners are a real time saver. Although I live alone 1 crock is not enough once the cookin’ mood hits. So glad to have found your wonderful recipes with lots of new ideas.

  7. I just love my crockpot… this looks like such a quick recipe too. It’s 7:30 a.m. here and I’m starving… this looks sooo delicious!!

  8. This would be so perfect for Thanksgiving leftovers.

  9. [...] adventure in slow cooking! This week it is Cranberry Chicken. I used this recipe. Note to self- I’m never buying Chicken thighs again. They are much too fatty. When I got [...]

  10. This looks really good. Serve it with pecan rice and green beans….yum

  11. Okay, now you’ve got me intrigued with this recipe…will pull out my new crockpot ( I got a nice fancy on last year that has the timers on in and adjusts the heat…compared to the 2 old hand-me-downs I use for get togethers)…Sound good…

  12. I’ve been making a version of this recipe for many years. I make rice so I can put some of the sauce over that too.

  13. Made this tonight. Served it with mashed potatoes and sugar snap peas. I used skinless thighs, because thats what I had. It was VERY GOOD. I can see this on pork chops too. Thanks for a great recipe.

  14. I saw a similar recipe on another website recently. It was a turkey breast and no tapioca. It was very good! I will try it with chicken breasts very soon!

  15. Dinner tonight! Can’t wait!

  16. Any suggestions on something simple (other than potatoes) to serve as a side dish??

  17. Can you use just cranberry sauce without the whole berries? or, do you need to use the kind with berries? Thanks, this looks like a wonderful recipe.

  18. Going to make this for tonight’s dinner. I make my own whole cranberry sauce. Would you suggest a cup or a cup and a half?

  19. I have eaten this chicken recipe for more than 50 years, my mother made it for us as children. I raised my children on it growing up and they cooked it for their children. Recipe has been passed down to my grandchildren and their new family begginings. I just bake mine for an hour in the oven. My recipe call’s for fewer ingredients than yours. Very good quick meal I will agree

  20. I’ll use this now cuz it sounds good – and also can see it being my new Thanksgiving favorite, since there’s only two of us and I only have the one day off:)

  21. Judy, I did make this last night for dinner. I did the 4 hours on high, I didn’t change a thing and it was wonderful. The cup and a half of the homemade cranberry sauce was perfect. Sweet and savory. My husband is still talking about it this morning!! Since I like to ‘mix things up a bit’, the next time I’m going to try this with a pork tenderloin. Thanks again and keep up the good work!!!

  22. Judy, I told you the next time I made this I would ‘mix it up’ a bit. Well, I did this with a pork tenderloin and it was AWESOME. The only thing I switched out was the pork for the chicken. Give it try sometime, and thanks again.

  23. I made this for lunch today. I put it on before I went to church and it was ready when I got home. I served it with rice and a vegetable. It was delicious. Will definitely make again. It was even better at supper.

  24. put it over white rice,, so so good :) used boneless thighs.
