I made this recipe for 2 adults who like chicken, sweet potatoes and cranberries. I really liked the whole dish, the other person did not appreciate the cranberries with her vegetables. I used a lg. sweet potato that I peeled, but did not precook and my chicken breasts were added right from the freezer to the recipe. I put the chicken on top of all the vegetables. and covered the casserole dish. Everything was ready in 60-75 minutes and the chicken was not dry because it was cooked covered. I will certainly make this again. Because my sweet potato was quite large and both carrots and sweet potatoes are orange starches, the carrots were omitted this time.

Really loved the flavor combination in this dish. For a beginner, I felt very comfortable making this.

I followed other suggestions and added apple juice half way through to keep the chicken moist. I think I poured too much, but it was tender (and I usually find white meat too dry). I also steamed the carrots and sauteed the onions first. I used a more BBQ sauce than called for. The chicken was very bland. The individual tastes were fine, I like all the ingredients, but it tasted like bland chicken with some side dishes.

I added a cup of chicken broth to the bottom and extra honey to the top of the veggies. Smothered the tops of the chicken with bbq sauce. Turned out decent. Might make again.

I thought this sounded good, but it just didn't work. I precooked the sweet potato and carrots but the chicken was done well before the rest. The apples and onions were still slightly hard. Maybe cooking it in a slow cooker would be better. The flavor just wasn't good enough for me to try it again. I am amazed that there are so many good reviews. I had to apologize to my family for this meal.

The different elements of this dish didn't seem to gel together. It was a strange combination of flavors while simultaneously not being very flavorful. Edible, but not something I'd make again, nor did anyone in my family want me to.

Easy & delicious. Could make a good crock pot recipe too. Used canned whole cranberry which blended nicely with bbq and made a nice sauce.

This was great. We ate every bit. I too made 2 small changes after reading the vegetables may become dry or burned. 1) I caramelized the onions first and 2) since I didn't have cranberries on hand, I used about 1/3 cup crushed pineapple in natural juice (not syrup) to add moistness. FABULOUS.

It's not a bad recipe, but it's also not outstanding. It's the sort of thing that I'd make if I already had the ingredients on hand and didn't quite know what else to make for dinner. The chicken was a little dry. It's pretty easy to prepare, though.

I finally got a chance to make this recipe. It turned out great. I only gave it a 4 star because a whole cup of cranberries is way to much. Next time I make this I will cut the amount in Half. Overall the recipe is easy to make and very tasty. Did not deviate from the original. Will make again.
