Cranberry Orange Chicken

 Slow Cooker Cranberry Orange Chicken

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries

1/2 cup orange juice

1/4 cup honey

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon water

Zest of one orange

Directions

Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.

In a medium bowl, combine the cranberries, orange juice, honey, soy sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the chicken.

Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and set aside.

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir this into the sauce in the slow cooker to thicken it.

Return the chicken to the slow cooker and coat with the thickened sauce.

Sprinkle the orange zest over the top before serving.
