I don't think this has to have whole cranberries... I used a can of jellied cranberries, and like others used just one packet of onion soup mix, and some cheap french dressing. I put it in a crock pot on low for six hours, and it was absolutely amazing. My husband and two young sons ate it happily, and we've added this to our regular menu. So easy! So good!!

Okay, here's the problem I have with this recipe. A friend of mine gave me this recipe without the onion soup packet, whole canned cranberries instead of jellied, added pecans and baked it in the oven. It was WONDERFUL. I tried it this way yesterday. It tasted exactly the same with one exception. You know that onion taste that you can't get out of your mouth no matter how much you brush, floss, or pik? Stayed with me through today. I would definitely make this, taking out the onion soup mix and adding pecans. I love it with rice.

Followed recipe exactly and everyone LOVED it. I didn't think the onion soup mix would taste good with the cranberry, but it was excellent. Only thing is, next time, I won't cover the chicken in the oven for the whole time. It wound up a little too soupy. Otherwise, GREAT recipe and very simple. Thanks for sharing it with us!

Sorry, this was a big disappointment for my family. Followed the instructions and ingredients exactly. Can't quite put my finger on it, but I think the onion soup mix was too overpowering. Think twice before making this.

This was really good and the chicken was super moist. I let mine sit overnight and most of the next day. My husband and I are not big chicken people, but I had to use some up and decided on this recipe and we both agreed that it was good.

This was a last minute dish for our Christmas dinner since I was unable to go shopping for the usual turkey. So, needless to say I did not marinate for the recommended 8 hours. That said, this was quite possibly one of the best chicken recipes that I have ever made and this is now going to be our traditional Christmas meal for years to come. My hubby who loves chicken could not stop raving about this which is saying something since he rarely mentions anything about what I cook. He said it was better than anything you can get in a restaurant even. The only change I made was to make the French dressing from scratch (using one of the recipes here at Allrecipes) and I used bone in chicken breast. The chicken was delicious and juicy. Definite Keeper.

I used ground pork instead of chicken, and formed it into meatballs loosely following the "Sweet and Sour Pork Patties" recipe on this site. My oven is broken, so I cooked the meatballs, then added everything else, and simmered for a good 45 minutes and served over rice. Even using pork, and not being able to use my oven, it was very good. Tangy and different from the usual dinner. I think, generally speaking, if you like things "Sweet and Sour" you'll like the taste of this recipe.

I was so surprised at how good this chicken was. Came out tender and flavorful. My hubby said it was so good we could serve it for company. I was skeptical at first that this would turn out (seemed like a really odd combo of flavors) but I'm definitely making this again. Followed the recipe exactly. (except I marinated longer than the 8 hours)

Fabulous.Different.Easy. I made this with wild rice and broccoli spears and it made a colorful and tasty Christmas meal for guests. Everyone loved it. I would take the tinfoil off for the last 15-20 min. just to brown it up a bit. I also like using the jellied cranberries and western dressing.

I used leftover homemade whole cranberry sauce (with grapes), and just one package of onion soup mix. I also threw these in the Crockpot, which I discovered requires adding some water so that all the liquid doesn't cook away (at least 1/2 cup water). I like the flavor of the sauce - fruity, tangy, and sweet - and it's great over mashed potatoes. I use a similar recipe for pot roast, which calls for ketchup instead of French dressing. I have to say I prefer this sauce on the beef rather than the chicken though.
