"When a friend of mine first served this to me I couldn't believe how something so delicious could be so easy to make. Now I never let my family use the French dressing, I'm always hoarding it for when I make this chicken."

I made this in the crockpot. At 4 hours on high it was done. Then I removed the lid and let the liquid reduce down until I served it later over rice. I used 12 ozs of the dressing. Next time I'll use the whole cranberry sauce for added texture. Thank you it was very good.

I just love these easy recipes that yield a wonderful dish! The chicken was so moist and very tasty. I used a 16 oz can of whole berry cranberry sauce and a 16 oz bottle of low fat sweet & spicy French dressing with 8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts. I baked it covered for 1 hour, which I backed into from the total baking time and subtracting the uncovered baking time. Only problem is that they ate just about everything so I don't really have leftovers! LOL

DH liked it and I thought it was o.k. Used drumsticks and thighs for the chicken. I think I would've liked more cranberry flavor and less dressing but that's easy to adjust. Had tons of sauce which I think didn't allow for maybe the meat to get a good glaze on it. Liked how easy it was to put together. Thanks for sharing it!

This is delicious. I make this using chicken thighs, and cook it in the crockpot on low for 6-8 hours. I serve it with Oven Rice (simmer 1 cup brown rice, 1 cup beef broth, 1 cup chicken broth and a half stick of melted mar-pareve in a covered casserole for one hour at 350 F) and steamed broccoli. Yummy!

This was VERY yummy!....And VERY easy too! I made my own French dressing, and it was a little creamier than the typical tomato-heavy French dressings you find in the store. I was very happy with the results. It's certainly not the most beautiful chicken you'll ever make..BUT it's tasty, so I give it 4 stars. I will be making this again! Thanks Mirj, another recipe to whip up for a last-minute shabbos meal!
