'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.

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.

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.

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.

We love love this recipe. I've made it as a meal to take to friends. They asked for the recipe, and didn't believe it was as easy as it is. It just melts in your mouth. My girls ask for it now.

Though this recipe was tasty, and my family enjoyed it, I probably won't make it again. I saw another version that uses more cranberry sauce; perhaps it would lend a more fruity flavor. I made a similar recipe last week, using apricot jam instead of cranberry sauce, and that one was much more popular at my house!

I'm sorry to say this, but my family hated this recipe! We threw this dinner away after a couple bites and looked around the kitchen for something else to eat. Sorry!

This chicken turned out very tender with a very flavorful sauce. I cooked it in a slow cooker on high for 3 hrs b/c I didn't have time to cook right before dinner and served it over rice.

This was awesome and SO easy! I used fat-free dressing, to cut down on the calories. I think this would also be great on pork chops or pork tenderloin... Thanks for sharing it, it's a new favorite of mine!

I wasn't really happy with the taste of this one. It had an odd flavor... just like another reviewer said they couldn't put their finger on it nor could they determine if they liked it or not. The chicken was juicy. I was just trying to find something to use up my leftover cranberries. I'll find something else next time instead.

My husband and kids didn't like this a whole lot because of the dried onion soup. None of them like onions, and these dried onion pieces were just too big. I thought it was great though!

We tried the recipe this weekend using one packet of onion soup mix since many reviews mentioned doing so. The recipe was received with mixed reviews. Couldn't really put a finger on the taste or if we liked or did not like it. Chicken was moist. There was too much sauce made by the mixture of ingredients and I wasn't sure what to do with it. I don't see it as a rice or pasta sauce so I felt it was a waste of ingredients. Worth a try though! This website is great!

This is a really nice & sweet recipe for chicken. Great for a change of pace. I suggest only using 1 package of onion soup mix, as I did so that it wouldn't be too salty. It came out great. A really great alternative to barbeque sauce recipes.

This recipe had way too much onion soup in it. Coming out of the oven it didn't look appealing at all. It had an interesting flavor, very different. I don't know that I'll make this again, if I try I'll definitely revise it to what other reviewers had to say.
