Slow Cooker Cranberry Orange Chicken

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 4 hours
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 14 oz can of whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 1/2 cup of dried cranberries
  • 1 cup of orange juice
  • zest from one large orange
  • salt and pepper or all-purpose steak seasoning

Instructions

  • In the bottom of a slow cooker, stir together cranberry sauce, orange juice, and dried cranberries.
  • Place seasoned chicken breasts in slow cooker.
  • Cook chicken breasts on low for about 4 hours, or until breasts reach 165 degrees.
  • Remove chicken breasts and transfer liquid to a wide sauté pan or skillet.
  • Bring liquid to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until mixture thickens.
  • Serve cranberry orange glaze over chicken breast.

Notes

Use a large wide pan to reduce sauce. More surface area in the pan allows the sauce to reduce quicker, and dinner to be ready sooner!
