Crockpot recipe: Cranberry Chicken

After nearly a year of having the crock pot MIA (packed away somewhere), I finally found it last week. I am nothing less than thrilled, my crock pot is seriously my best kitchen friend. You chop everything up, toss it in the crock pot, add some ingredients and voila.... 4-8 hours later you have a homemade meal ready to serve, while you got to enjoy the day or get errands done.

This is my first crock pot meal in a year, and we're going to enjoy it tonight.

ingredients:
- 4-6 boneless chicken breast halves, skinless or skin removed
- 1 can cranberry sauce
- 2/3 cup chili sauce (see note below)*
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 pkg dry golden onion soup mix

preparation:

Place chicken in slow cooker/crock pot. Combine remaining ingredients; add to the slow cooker, coating chicken well. Cover and cook low 6-8 hours. Serves 4-6.

* Chili sauce....
I realized that I didn't have a jar of chili sauce, so I found this recipe and it tasted just like the jarred chili sauce.

1/2 cup tomato sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon vinegar
dash cloves
1 minced garlic clove
1 tablespoon chili powder
simmer together for 5 minutes
