I cooked this tonight as per your instructions. I have come back in to say how much the family enjoyed it. Its certainly a keeper and on rotation. Thankyou very much for recommending this recipe, the gravy on the rice was sublime. 👍🇦🇺
I've made this recipe using boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the crockpot. Cook for several hours then shred chicken with a fork in the crockpot. Serve over rice. Delicious.
I made this chicken recipe yesterday. While baking, my whole house smelled so yummy. The chicken was so moist and delicious and the gravy made this most delicious. This is a keeper ❤. Thank you.
Hi Colleen, I am 2 years new resident of Edmonton Alberta forelmerly BC, first I just want to say I just love the wholesome homestyle cooking! I am a recent follower of you thanks to my sister Shelley who introduced you to me through your refrigerator pickles , Love em ! I made the entire Cranberry Chicken Dinner for my family and oh wow!!!!! super flavourful and easy and delicious! There is a kind of warm comfort about you that tells me that your food will always be delightful! This Chicken dinner is now on a card in my recipe box! I am a big foodie lover and just love cooking! I always say that food is love! Oh , yes love the way you clean as you go! Thank you and cheers to you !

@Our Silver Moments - I have to share this with you! We lost my precious father-in-law in 2018 to cancer. I lost my Daddy in 2007, so my father-in-law became even more close then. I loved cooking with Darrell at the holidays, on Sundays after church & anytime. He made this wonderful cranberry chicken often for Sunday lunch & it was my job to make sides. I never knew how he made it until today, watching you prepare this! I’ve often regretted not asking for the recipe & he always told me “it’s just chicken, a can of cranberry sauce & dressing!” Now I know how to do it & the proportions & I can show our daughter how to make PawPaw’s cranberry chicken! Thank you so much for sharing & I’ve just subscribed to your channel. I can’t wait to watch more! ❤❤❤
I made these chicken thighs two nights ago and they were outstanding!! I served them with mashed potatoes and Stove Top Stuffing and it was like Thanksgiving!! The sauce over the potatoes and stuffing is amazing! Thanks for sharing ❤
I love your easy, quick recipes, but what keeps me coming back to your channel is your warm and welcoming countenance. You have a lovely peaceful and calming presence, that at the end of a long day I want to sit down with a cup of tea and watch your show…and maybe get some ideas for tomorrow’s dinner. Rice has always been a nightmare for me. I have never made it in the microwave. Thank you for showing this to us…I’m excited to try it! Blessings❣️
@@dmartin1203 Awe, thank you so much! This channel has turned out to be so much more than a place to store recipes for my children and grandchildren. I hope that everyone wants to sit down with me across my kitchen counter and have tea and a chat about what I'm making. Blessings to you, Colleen
I can't thank you enough❤!! My mom used to make that chicken. I haven't thought of it in years. It brought back so many memories. I'm so glad to have found you. Thank you again. ❤
Colleen, I hope you are doing better. Please take care of yourself and don’t feel pressure to make videos. I lost my father when I was 20 years old and the pain was overwhelming. It got better but for a while I didn’t want to get out of bed. It’s okay to not do anything although I agree that keeping busy can definitely help. I hope you realize that your subscribers sincerely care about you and will be here even if you take a well deserved break. I know how much work making these videos requires and can’t tell you how impressed I am. I am a Christian and it really helped thinking that my loved one was with God waiting on the other side for me. I used to watch NDE (near death experience)videos and they were very convincing and comforting. I’m not trying to force religion on you just expressing what really helped me during the most difficult time of my life. I held on because of my faith and family. I hope you believe me when I say that you are a friend to many of your subscribers and have provided companionship. It’s a wonderful community that you have created that encourages each other. Thank you and have a nice day!
@mashaazran9896 Thank you so much for your kindness! I love the community that has been created here and I'm so happy that so many people have been brought together. I love the Lord and would not be able to get through my day without him. Thanks for taking the time to comment, I appreciate it so much. Blessings, Colleen
@@oursilvermoments6028 When my Dad passed away I was 35 and devestated. After his funeral, the priest told me this- This is only a temporary separation. I will never forget that and I remind myself of it often.
Hi Colleen, I’m Ruth from Buffalo NY. I just want to tell you how wonderful you are! I love your videos and give you so much credit for figuring out how to do TH-cam. Thank you ❤
This looks so good & is similar to the one with apricot preserves & Russian dressing. (& the soup). I like cranberries & I will try this, plus probably less expensive. Thanks for the recipe.
We make a real similar recipe, call it Russian chicken. Everything is exactly the same except we use a whole bottle of Russian salad dressing with the same ingredients you used. We love it!
Hello Colleen, I'm Diane from Maryland and 79, will be 80 next month but most people guess my age about 58 or 59 but at this age of almost 80 and a widow don't feel like going to many ingredients for a meal and this sounds perfect and I can freeze some for later meals. Thank you for the rice method, quick . Here in Maryland continues to be hot 86, calling my grass crispy , it's been so dry , we need rain very badly here. Baltimore gas had rain but I'm on the eastern shore near Chesapeake Bay. My father was born in Quebec so proud I'm part Canadian. Thank you for another great recipe. 😊
Thanks for explaining time usage in a u tube segment. Have been wondering since a lot of folks drag out such as chopping and chopping and .............
I am American and my paternal grandmother was British Canadian from Newfoundland. She was a wonderful cook and bread maker, etc. I was shocked to find out that I have over 20,000 2nd to 4th cousins living in Canada through DNA testing.
I’m glad to find someone else who makes her rice in the microwave. It IS foolproof. My method is as follows: 1 C of Uncle Ben’s long grain rice; ½ Tbsp olive oil; 1 chicken bouillon cube; 2 c boiling water. Toss the rice and oil in a casserole (mine is 65 years old. It was a shower gift.) Add the boiling water and chicken cube; cover with a lid and put it in the microwave on high for 5 minutes. Lower the heat to low and cook for 12 minutes. Delicious, even without a sauce. I’m going to try your chicken recipe when I have some friends over. Can’t stand too long these days, and this looks so simple. Glad I found you here in Toronto.
Colleen I made this today, and wow! It is a winner. I used rotisserie chicken and baked it about 25 minutes. Thank you so much. Also, I know it has been such a difficult time for you, but you are the definition of grace under pressure. Kmow that many of your subscribers, including me, pray for you and hope you can find some serenity. Hugs from Indiana!
This is the first time that I’ve ever seen your channel. This looks delicious! I love anything with cranberries. Thank you for sharing how you cook your rice. I’m going to try that. I’m watching from Lubbock, Texas. ❤
It's delicious. It makes a lot of sauce! Works with pork chops, too. I have used half the amount of sauce on chicken, half on pork or freeze half for later use.
Hello and thanks from Australia. I do apricot nectar in can,french onion soup mix,chicken pieces.Flour chicken in flour and fry .Add soup mix,nectar etc.bake. Thanks for the rice recipe.Really appreciate your channel Colleen.
I’m a can of cranberry lover and discovered after many years that the whole can of cranberries is even more delicious…we always had it on the table for Thanksgiving…always so pretty sliced up and fanned out on a plate for ease of portioning out as there was seven of us 😋…it is so disappointing to not be able to find it unless it is “the season” for it…that and pumpkin so I try to remember to store up!!! This does look like a great recipe for thighs which I also prefer so will definitely be trying it!!! (I do always wash my thighs just to be safe!)
You need to live in the midwest. Lumpy cranberry (as we call it) is so popular that our grocery deli makes their homemade cranberry with orange all year long. You can buy it everyday they are open. We also like to make quick Thanksgiving dinner every few months so we just buy thick cut deli turkey, some Pepperidge farm seasoned bread crumbs , gravy and said cranberry have a quick turkey dinner.
Hi Colleen.....we had this cranberry chicken for supper tonight and my husband and I loved it. So easy to make and delicious!!!! Thanks for such easy to make recipes!
Ive made a similar recipe for years. I use French dressing, onion soup and apricot preserves. The cranberry sounds d😊❤elightful. I always do my rice in the microwave I do I cup rice. 1 1/4 cup water, butter, and cook for 19 minutes very similar.
First time watching one of your videos, and I really enjoyed it. Have added the chicken recipe to my recipe journal and will definitely try it. Would be easy peasy for a church potluck dinner! North Florida, USA
Back in the mid 1970's my great aunt from Arizona came to visit us and wanted to fix Bachelor Chicken for us. We had never heard of Bachelor Chicken. (It is so easy that a bachelor could fix it to impress his date). It was this very recipe. She doubled it and used a whole chicken because she was feeding more people. Recipe has been around for a long time! When I double the recipe, I used 1 can of whole cranberries & 1 can of the jellied. Recipe works great in the crock pot to not heat up the house during the hot summer months. I mix the soup mix, french dressing and cranberry sauce in my casserole dish and then dredge the chicken through it on both sides. This keeps all the sauce in 1 dish & cuts down on another dish to wash.
Just happened upon your channel. Will be making this chicken recipe today (chicken thighs are on sale). From Long Island, NY. Enjoy your day. Your husband is a lucky man. He eats healthy while on the road.
OMG this brings back so many good memories! I used to make this for my family years ago and it is so delicious! Thank you for sharing this! I'm definitely making it this week. Leftovers are even better!
Greetings from Florida Colleen this sounds like a great dish. I’m gonna try it. I am now 60 and French dressing was a very 70’s early 80’s thing here in the states that I remember 😊 Thank you for sharing …..Brian
@InFltSvc Hi Brian, sounds like the same time period that it was popular here in Canada. We can still buy it so apparently we are not the only ones that remember it. Best wishes, Colleen
You remind me sooooo much of my Grandma. I mean that in a very kind way. You have the same look and softness to you. And my Grandma was also a wonderful cook. I always remember the lovely casseroles she could whip up, just like you. We live on Vancouver Island and I just love watching you. Keep the videos coming, can’t wait for each new one. May I ask what town you live in?
Looks absolutely delicious. I have on hand all the ingredients so that's what's for dinner tomorrow. Yhank you for sharing. I love the way you clean as you go. So do I when I cook. Makes for much easier cleanup. ❤
Goodness, I haven’t had this in 20 years. My aunt used to make it but used thousand island dressing instead of French. Thank you for the walk down memory lane. She left us some time ago.
I have made the same recipe with chicken breast boneless it's great over mashed potatoes The only difference is mine is a quarter cup of Russian dressing a quarter cup of bacon bits and a quarter cup of orange juice it's wonderful it's called autumn chicken those ingredients are on top of the jelloied cranberry sauce with cranberries and the dry onion soup mix
Better yet cover casserole with a plate. I have an oval corelle platter that I use. No toxins released heating plastic and no waste in trash. Can store leftovers in fridge covered with same plate.
Lots of recipes online for French, Russian, Thousand Island, Italian, etc dressings. I made homemade French dressing last week using a small whisk - easy, quick, and delicious!
Our family loves cranberry chicken it is a big company pleaser I make it the same way you do except for I use chicken breast and you know what else is absolutely delicious is turkey breast and also we always made it as a cranberry chicken pocket my version is with the whole cranberries the same brand name but the whole cranberries and we use stuffing mix on the bottom try this version try it this way mix everything like you're mixing it breaded chicken but only if you're using chicken breast I just keep layering your items it is delicious I don't use the gel just because it has a lot of juice to it I just came across your video cranberry chicken recipe see if you make it the same way I do I don't use thighs I use chicken breast and or turkey breast
Hello, i made this recipe today. I added a small can of crushed pineapple. It was so yummy and we enjoyed it so very much. Thank you. We are trying the apricot chicken soon.
Hi Coleen, I just subscribed to your wonderful channel! I love tasty, easy recipes for most days and I loved watching you put your ingredients together. Looking forward to what else you make because this dish is a winner!
Looks great! I was told about a slow cooker recipe for a Turkey breast using a can of cranberry sauce and one of whole cranberries plus the onion soup package like you used. I haven't tried it but it always sounded so good! This recipe looks amazing for chicken
Hi Colleen, Thighs are my favorite part of chicken and your whole plate looked amazing! It might be easy and as you said a lazy meal… but it looked fabulous! Blessings to you all! Keep up the great videos, from Tennessee!
Love this, I use Russian dressing, it’s so quick & easy to pull together, savory & everybody loves it! Thanks for reminding me how much we loved this one🙏🏻😎
Hello Colleen, your channel just came up in my suggestions. This recipe sounds so good! It’s nice to watch a cook that is so friendly and calm. I’ve subbed ❤
Going shopping shortly with my daughter and granddaughter. Think I will buy these ingredients and make it for supper! I did end up making this! You’re right, super easy, really good! The leftovers are amazing too!
Hi Colleen, a sure-fire way to trim the broccoli of those hard stems is to peel it from the stem is to trim from the bottom. Then the peel comes off easily. Ann
@robindobiesz4006 hope it works great for you. Might take a little experimenting because each microwave is different but one you get it dialed in you won't do anything else. Cheers, Colleen
First time watching and now I've subscribed. You had me at cranberries! I love anything with cranberries in it. The bonus is only three ingredients. Now that's my kind of cooking!
👩🏻💻🇺🇲I am not much of a cook but this recipe I am sure I can do. I love rice and wild rice the best. To make it even fast Stove Top Stuffing in a pinch with that sauce over the top sounds yummy. I wrote your instructions down and thanks a bunch!😊

@rhystan8254 That's wonderful news! Thanks for letting me know.
I've made this recipe using boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the crockpot. Cook for several hours then shred chicken with a fork in the crockpot. Serve over rice. Delicious.
Did you cook it on low, and for how many hours?
Shred chicken in the crockpot with a hand mixer! Takes less than a minute, just cover with paper towels or dish cloth.
@luciewinborne2929 I would do about 9 hrs on low making sure it's done using a meat thermometer.
I made this chicken recipe yesterday. While baking, my whole house smelled so yummy. The chicken was so moist and delicious and the gravy made this most delicious. This is a keeper ❤. Thank you.

I have made the same recipe with chicken breast boneless it's great over mashed potatoes The only difference is mine is a quarter cup of Russian dressing a quarter cup of bacon bits and a quarter cup of orange juice it's wonderful it's called autumn chicken those ingredients are on top of the jelloied cranberry sauce with cranberries and the dry onion soup mix
Hi, I would think if you have that many chicken thighs you would need at least 1/2 c. of French or Russian & orange juice
Thank you for this recipe. I bought some chicken thighs and was wondering just how I was going to cook them and now I know. It all sounds yummy.
Better yet cover casserole with a plate. I have an oval corelle platter that I use. No toxins released heating plastic and no waste in trash. Can store leftovers in fridge covered with same plate.
I used to make chicken wings with onion soup, Russian dressing and apricot jam. I'll have to try this one as I can't find Russian dressing anymore.
@@randimalone8042 I am going to make that very recipe with chicken thighs for next weeks video. Thanks for reminding me about it!
Thousand island dressing is close to Russian dressing.
I got some on Amazon
Lots of recipes online for French, Russian, Thousand Island, Italian, etc dressings. I made homemade French dressing last week using a small whisk - easy, quick, and delicious!
French dressing would be the same
Our family loves cranberry chicken it is a big company pleaser I make it the same way you do except for I use chicken breast and you know what else is absolutely delicious is turkey breast and also we always made it as a cranberry chicken pocket my version is with the whole cranberries the same brand name but the whole cranberries and we use stuffing mix on the bottom try this version try it this way mix everything like you're mixing it breaded chicken but only if you're using chicken breast I just keep layering your items it is delicious I don't use the gel just because it has a lot of juice to it I just came across your video cranberry chicken recipe see if you make it the same way I do I don't use thighs I use chicken breast and or turkey breast
First time I’ve ever seen rice cooked in microwave. Looks simple! Thanks!
You are just adorable!
I subscribe of course.
Thank you for teaching me.
Great video. The plating looks perfectly delicious. I have to try this.
@@robertacolarette1594 Thank you!
Hello, i made this recipe today. I added a small can of crushed pineapple. It was so yummy and we enjoyed it so very much. Thank you. We are trying the apricot chicken soon.
I made this recipe for my family last night and they absolutely loved it. I made my own onion soup mix due to sodium restrictions. Thank you!
@@lynnh4923 that's great to here, thanks for sharing your success! ❤️
I use Catalina dressing with this recipe and it's delicious.
Love this recipe. Will be making it soon. Thank you for making cooking easy and yummy too.😊
Hi Coleen, I just subscribed to your wonderful channel! I love tasty, easy recipes for most days and I loved watching you put your ingredients together. Looking forward to what else you make because this dish is a winner!
looks delicious. We will have to give it a try. Thank you for the recipe.
Looks great! I was told about a slow cooker recipe for a Turkey breast using a can of cranberry sauce and one of whole cranberries plus the onion soup package like you used. I haven't tried it but it always sounded so good! This recipe looks amazing for chicken
@cindyk3325 thank you!
I like your channel. Great recipe!
Hi Colleen, Thighs are my favorite part of chicken and your whole plate looked amazing! It might be easy and as you said a lazy meal… but it looked fabulous! Blessings to you all! Keep up the great videos, from Tennessee!
Love this, I use Russian dressing, it’s so quick & easy to pull together, savory & everybody loves it! Thanks for reminding me how much we loved this one🙏🏻😎
@happynwater7399 You're welcome! It was once very popular and I feel like we can bring it back.
Hello Colleen, your channel just came up in my suggestions. This recipe sounds so good! It’s nice to watch a cook that is so friendly and calm. I’ve subbed ❤
This is my first tie watching … but certainly won’t be my last!! Just subscribed 👍
Sounds like something my family would really enjoy - me too! Thank you
I have made that before, and it tastes wonderful. Thank you for reminding me of this yummy dinner
Going shopping shortly with my daughter and granddaughter. Think I will buy these ingredients and make it for supper!
I did end up making this! You’re right, super easy, really good! The leftovers are amazing too!
Hi Colleen, a sure-fire way to trim the broccoli of those hard stems is to peel it from the stem is to trim from the bottom. Then the peel comes off easily. Ann
That looks delicious, thanks for the recipe, will try it soon.
I am going to try this for my family. Looks wonderful 😊
Looks delicious, I'm definitely going to start cooking rice your way, thank you!!
@robindobiesz4006 hope it works great for you. Might take a little experimenting because each microwave is different but one you get it dialed in you won't do anything else. Cheers, Colleen
Nice! I’ll have to try your rice technique! I shy away from serving rice. Chicken looks yummy too!
This looks so good. I will be giving this recipe a try.
TFS
Made this for dinner tonight. It was delicious. Thank you
Looks good!!!!! Going to have to give it a try; I love simple things like this.
Looks yummy and thanks for sharing your rice cooking method.
@wendymanning9617 My mom taught me the rice method years ago and I haven't looked back since. I hope you find it useful. Cheers, Colleen
Hello! What an interesting combination! Thank you for the ideas. Peace
@Saoirse.n.Murphy you are most welcome, thanks for watching.
This looks quite tasty! Sounds like it would be sort of like a sweet and sour taste. Thanks as always for sharing your recipe with us.
@@cindycollins2510 My pleasure! Thanks for watching them all.
This sounds interesting. I love broccoli too. Will try this chicken recipe soon.
Gonna try this recipe especially cooking rice this way. Looks delicious to me, so thank you!❤
❤ that looks so good. I think I will make it and add chopped pecans too.
@@sofarokintn8166 sounds like a good addition!
First time watching and now I've subscribed. You had me at cranberries! I love anything with cranberries in it. The bonus is only three ingredients. Now that's my kind of cooking!
Looks delicious Thanks for the rice tip
Definitly going to make this and share the recipe n your site with them, thankyou for your time your hubby is a lucky man.
@kathleenpmaguire3377 Thank you Kathleen, I think I'm the lucky one.
Gonna make that!! Looks Delicious!😋👍🏽
Yum I always made it with apricot or mango jam. Look forward to using cranberry
I love your functional kitchen
@moniquedepatie4734 thank you, I have to move some stuff around to film but overall it's a pretty functional space.
👩🏻💻🇺🇲I am not much of a cook but this recipe I am sure I can do. I love rice and wild rice the best. To make it even fast Stove Top Stuffing in a pinch with that sauce over the top sounds yummy. I wrote your instructions down and thanks a bunch!😊
@dolldoll2914 You are so very welcome, thanks for watching!
