Cranberry Chicken and Stuffing

I was feeling in the mood for some Thanksgiving flavor, so how about Cranberry Chicken and Stuffing?? You can easily add some green beans too and you'll have a complete Thanksgiving dish for dinner. I have experimented with a few different recipes and so far this has been the best!


Chicken Ingredients:
Chicken Breasts or tenderloins
1 cup orange juice
1 can of cranberry sauce
dash of cinnamon
dash of salt
dash of nutmeg
1/8 cup light brown sugar




Mix cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and brown sugar. Rub on chicken.
Place chicken in crock pot and top with orange juice and cranberry sauce.
Cover and cook 5 hours on low or 3 on high. (I have a large crock pot so mine cooks very fast, you might need longer depending on your sized crock pot)

Stuffing Ingredients:
Bag of stuffing mix
1/2 diced onion
1/2 cup diced onion
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried basil




Saute onion and celery in butter. 
Add broth and seasonings. Bring to a boil
Slowly add stuffing mix and mix together.
Cover with lid and sit for 5-10 minutes till moist.

Serve chicken with stuffing and ladle juices from crock pot onto stuffing.
NOTE: I Suggest saving some cranberry sauce to serve on the side or on top of the chicken.
