Cranberry chicken.

This is one of the easiest recipes ever and I just happened to make it up. And its actually really good.

I tend to go grocery shopping once every two weeks. I make a meal plan and I try to get the most meals I can out one ingredient or try to stretch one meal and freeze leftovers for days when time gets away from me.

So every two weeks I when I shop at Costco I buy a rotisserie chicken. That's $5 and I can get three meals out of it. The day we shop I use one breast and we have chicken and lettuce and have chicken salad.

The next day I throw half the chicken that I've saved  into slow cooker along with some other ingredients and I have this really nice simple dinner.  I tend to serve what I call cranberry chicken with mashed potatoes and a vegetable of some kind but it works well with rice too. 

Cranberry chicken. 

About a 1/3 of a whole chicken. 

One can jelled cranberry sauce

4 Tablespoon of dry onion soup mix. ( I make my own soup mix, but it equals about one packet of the store brought)

So all I do it throw everything into the slow cooker and cook on low for about 4 hours. Just want the cranberry to melt into a sauce and everything to be hot. 

That's it. It really is simple. Even my kid who really doesn't eat meat at all will eat a few bites of this.
