This is one of those ridiculously easy, you can do it with one hand, type recipes. But more importantly, it tastes delicious! I make it throughout the year because it is SO EASY to make – who doesn’t like a set and forget recipe with less than 5 ingredients?? However, it is really ideal for holidays because of the cranberry element. It’s so pretty and festive looking, and I often bring it to potlucks because it holds up so well.

  • 8 oz. bottle of Catalina (or Russian) dressing
  • 1 packet of onion soup mix
  • 1 can cranberries (whole or jellied – both work)
  • 12 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (that’s what I used this time around, but I’ve also used boneless chicken breasts, and bone-in thighs – they all work – you’ll just have to adjust the time accordingly. About 45 min for bone-in thighs, and 55 min for breasts)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Lay out the chicken in a 9 by 13 baking pan.  Mix the first 3 ingredients together.   Pour all over chicken and bake for 30 minutes.  That’s it!

I like to serve it over rice with a side of roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or in this case, mashed cauliflower. And here is where I need to insert my ravings about the awesome pressure cooker I just scored! While the chicken was baking, I made that mashed cauliflower in the pressure cooker in 5 minutes time! You can also turn this chicken into a pressure cooker recipe. Just dump the chicken and the ingredients in the pressure cooker and pressure cook it for 10 minutes.  Done!
