Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
- 1 (14 oz) can whole berry cranberry sauce
- 1 packet dry onion soup mix
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Place the chicken pieces in the bottom of your slow cooker.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, cranberry sauce, onion soup mix, and water until combined.
- Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken in the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Shred the chicken using two forks directly in the slow cooker, or remove and shred before returning it to the sauce.
- Stir everything together before serving.
Notes
- For a tangier flavor, substitute 1/4 cup of the cranberry sauce with orange juice.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the lid for the last 30 minutes of cooking time.
- This recipe works well with chicken thighs for extra moisture.
