Mix together:

1 can of whole berry cranberry

1-16 oz. bottle Catalina salad dressing

1 pkg. Lipton dry onion soup mix

Pour mixture over 1# chicken breasts or your favorite portions.  Bake 1 hour at 350. Great served with Rice a Roni and green beans or brocolli.

That sounds very tasty.  However, I have VERY finicky kids.  Can jellied cranberry be mixed in with the other ingredients??

That sounds interesting and although the ingredients are something I had never used, the recipe sure sounds good. Thank you. Any way that you could work any veggies straight into the chicken while it's baking?

I have never added veggies while baking the cranberry recipe, but that's not to say it can't be done!  I would think you would have to careful not to use one that the cranberry color would turn "icky" since you have kids--maybe baby carrots?  Come to think of it, maybe green beans, etc. would appeal to kids more if they were turned red!  Magic beans anyone? I do have a chicken recipe to which I have added veggies while the chicken cooks.  I have tried broccoli florets and mixed vegetables in the one below:

Forgotten Chicken

Put into a 9" x 13" pan:

1 1/2 cups raw rice (I have used white, brown, and wild rice)

1 package Lipton dry onion soup mix (I swear I don't work for these people, although I think I'm going to ask for a cut!)

Mix together:

2 cans cream soup (chicken, mushroom, celery, even cheese)

2 cans of milk

Pour soup and milk mixture ofver rice. 

Cut up a 3-3 1/2 pound chicken.  Pleace chicken pieces on top of rice.  Cover with foil.  Bake at 300 degrees for 2 hours or until chicken is completely cooked.  (Add more liquid if rice seems dry.)

This is a great dish to put into the oven before going to church or out to run an errand.   

Your message came up when I searched for "Skillet-dinner mix for mushroom and wild rice" which is part of a slow cooker recipe I want to make.  I went shopping tonight so I could get up bright and early tomorrow to make it and I could not find the mix!  The store manager was perplexed because he had never heard of the product and spent about 15 minutes looking for it in the soup area of the store.  Does anyone know of this product and where to get it?

Thank you,

Yes!  You mix the cranberry, dry onion soup mix, and the salad dressing all together and then pour over the chicken.  I usually make it in the over--it smells divine baking!--but have also thrown it in the slow cooker.  My son loves it!  Plus, it's pretty! 

Hi...I just joined the site today, and have been browsing around.  When I bake leg quarters, I have several ways, but one of our favorites is to lightly sprinkle them with seasoned salt, then spread Dijon mustard, or any brown mustard on the tops.  Bake at 375 for about an hour.  You can also use Dijon mixed with mayo....very tasty!

Hi,

I use Lawry's 30 minutes marinade. My favorite is Havana garlic & they are all good. Slice some onions and put on top. Bake for 1 hour at 375. basting one or twice. 

OK, last recipe and I'll leave you good people alone!

Baked Apricot Chicken

1-12 oz. jar apricot preserves (use peach, if you prefer)

1 tsp. lemon juice

2 tsp. soy sauce

3# chicken pieces

1 cup dried bread crumbs

1/4 cup melted butter

In a shallow dish, combine reserves. lemon juice, and soy sauce.  Mix well.  Set aside 1/2 of the mixture.  Coat chicken pieces with the other half and then roll in bread crumbs.  Arrange chicken in baking dish, drizzle with butter, and bake at 350 until done, about 50-60 minutes depending on the size peices used.  Heat sauce you had set aside--don't save and use sauce you dipped the chicken in--and serve with chicken.
