I was surprised by how well the cranberry mixed with the onion soup mix. I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs because that is what I had on hand. They turned out very nice, but I think they would have been more flavorful if I'd had bone in. This is a welcome recipe to have after a long work week....dinner is ready when you get home. Thanks for sharing! Made for Naked Photos in the Photo Forum.

I actually made this recipe before Thanksgiving (cut it in half for just the 2 of us) but put off reviewing it until now ~ Busy, busy! Anyway, we thoroughly enjoyed this chicken dish I particularly enjoyed the cranberry & onion soup flavor combo! Served it with brown rice, & it's a definite keeper of a recipe! Thanks for sharing it!

I also have two fur babies (cats); Kobee, AJ; we had to put our youngest cat Sly down Jan 2014. :(. I am also married to my best friend, Jeff and have been since April 2005. I love cooking, hate cleaning and will do whatever I can to get out of it! I love grilling and baking. I do most of the grilling at my house, and bake for almost a week straight at Christmas time! I can make or will attempt just about anything, though I rarely make brownies, my husband's are the best! Homemade breads are not my friend, so I am always working on bread baking.</strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>As for recipe ideas (besides zaar) Cooking Light Cookbooks are my favorites. I love to make new meals and try new things; it is hard though because my husband is picky when it comes to veggies (and hates seafood); If it were up to him we would have baked-bread crumb chicken and white rice at least one meal a day! Over the past couple years with zaar, I have found tons of new recipes my family normally wouldn’t eat but have been happily surprised with new favorites.</strong></span></p>
