This is one of the best chicken recipes ever! Don't let the ingredients fool you- I get rave reviews!

A friend made this for a dinner party and I raved and raved about it for months before she finally told me what it was. I couldn't believe it! How easy and yummy. Its a winner! I used catalina instead of french (all i had) and it turned out great.

I was going to submit this recipe, until I found there were two or three already submitted. I cook my chicken for five minutes in boiling water, pat dry. In a large bowl I add ONE envelope onion soup mix, one BOTTLE of french dressing and One can of whole berry cranberry sauce. Bake covered in a 350* oven for an hour. I serve this during the holidays. I use chicken tenderloin for family, for guests I use chicken breasts with the bone...looks more...fabulous.

I have been making this recipe for 20 years. I have used a whole cut up chicken too. I also cover the pan with foil and bake for 1 hour and uncover and bake for 30 more min. We always serve this with rice. The sauce is great on the rice.

I can't say enough good things about this. This is very tasty and savory. We ate over rice. Very easy to make, and a good tasty filling meal. Next time, I'm going to throw in some frozen veggies.

This was very easy and delicious! The only thing I did different was allowed mixture to set for about an hour before adding chicken. So that died onions absorbed more of the liquid.

'Cranberry Chicken' is something my family has been making for years, though, a bit differently. I came across this recipe and thought I'd test it out because it's very similar. The only change I made when making it is adding some worcestershire sauce. I figured that the onion soup mix was a good idea but it ended up making the flavor too 'onioney' and the sauce too runny. I usually make this recipe minus the onion soup mix with a tad worcestershire sauce and some onion powder or sauteed onions. The sauce turns out much thicker and makes a better gravy. You can also substitute Russian dressing for the French dressing.

This recipe was great! I made this with pork chops also and it was great. The sauce is like a thick BBQ sauce. I used Catalina instead of French but it turned out great!

I used 4 chicken breasts but this makes a ton of sauce, so I recommend using 6. Also used Russian dressing & only 1 pkg onion soup mix. Very tasty...kind of a sweet & sour/tangy flavor.

simple. delicious. will make again and again. perfect.

I sliced my chicken into more of a large chicken "tender" size pieces. And used leftover walnut orange cranberry relish my mom had made for Thanksgiving instead of the canned one. Put the whole recipe (with french dressing and onion soup mix) in a medium corning ware dish with some water to cover it all. I baked it for about an hour. It made a lot of sauce, but it came out great.

I cut down on the French Dressing and it was delicious.

Intersting flavours. All in all very yummy. I wouldn't have thought to put this combination together, but it works :)

This recipe is the same as Cranberry Chicken I, except that 2 packages of onion soup mix is added. It is way too salty and over powering. Stick with the other recipe.

OK for a quick and easy dinner.

I made this for 2, but with some AWESOME additions!!! I juiced 1 orange and added it to the other ingredients, along with about 1 tsp of orange zest!!!! YUMMY!! The orange juice & zest just gave it that extra kick! Will make over and over! Some of the best chicken I ever made.
