Ingredients

BBQ cranberry chicken is easy to make and only uses four ingredients and a few spices like salt, pepper and garlic.

• boneless skinless chicken: 2 to 3 pounds of white or dark meat chicken
• cranberry sauce: whole berry or classic cranberry sauce
• barbecue sauce: I used Sonny's Sweet BBQ sauce) or you can use your favorite brand.
• Dijon mustard: I used my homemade creamy Dijon mustard or you can use store bought mustard.
• dry minced onion I used my homemade minced onion I made with dehydrated onions or use onion powder.
• salt and ground black pepper
• Buns: slider buns, hamburger buns or even hoagie rolls will work with this recipe. My no-knead cheesy slider rolls would be great.

Directions

Step 1: Trim the fat from the chicken, pat dry with a paper towel and arrange the chicken in a single layer on the bottom of a 5 or 6 quart crock pot slow cooker.
