Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds fresh chicken tenders

• 1 can (14 ounces) cranberry sauce from the can, chopped into big chunks

• 4 ounces cream cheese, broken into small blobs

• 1/2 cup Italian dressing from a bottle (zesty or plain)

May Morning Chicken: Directions

1. Spray a little oil inside your slow cooker to keep it from sticking and make cleaning simple.

2. Put the raw chicken tenders flat on the bottom. They can overlap a bit.

3. Take the cranberry sauce out of the can, cut it into red chunks, and spread them over the chicken.

4. Break the cream cheese into tiny pieces or blobs, and dot them all over the top.

5. Pour the Italian dressing over everything so it soaks in between the chunks and blobs.

6. Put the lid on and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or high for 2-3 hours, until chicken is done (at least 165°F inside).

7. Shred the chicken with two forks in the cooker, or leave it in big pieces if you want.

8. Mix it all up so the melted cranberry, soft cheese, and juices make a smooth pink creamy sauce on the chicken.

9. Taste it, add a bit of salt or pepper if you like, then serve hot over rice, noodles, or potatoes.

Serve over soft rice, buttery noodles, or mashed potatoes to catch all the tasty sauce. Add easy greens like steamed beans, baked broccoli, or salad. Leftovers pack great for lunch with rice and veggies—they heat up fine in the microwave.
