Cranberry Chicken
by Crystal Miller
1 small onion, sliced thinly
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, if frozen do not thaw
2 1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/4 cup fruit sweetened catsup
2 T Sucanat or brown sugar
1 t dry mustard
2 t cider vinegar
Place onion slices and cranberries in the
bottom of your crockpot. Arrange chicken on top. In a small bowl mix
together the catsup, Sucanat, dry mustard and vinegar. Pour this over the
chicken. Cover and cook on low setting 6 to 7 hours or until the chicken
is tender.
To serve, lift the chicken
out and set on serving platter (you can cover it and keep it warm in your oven
on a warm setting) and mix 1 ½ T cornstarch with 2 T cold water. Turn the
crock pot to HIGH and add mixture. Cover and cook this for about 15 minutes more
or until the sauce thickens. Season to taste with salt and pour this over
the chicken. This tastes good with brown rice pilaf and a spinach salad.
