I named this recipe "Foolish Chicken" because I am posting this on April Fools Day. But seriously, this recipe is foolishly easy! It requires only four ingredients and can be put together in just 3-4 minutes. Once assembled, just cover and place in the oven for two hours. It can be served with several sides, but I like it best with rice.
6-8 whole chicken breasts, halved
16 oz. bottle French salad dressing
1 envelope onion soup mix
14 oz. can cranberry sauce
Rinse chicken and pat dry. Place in a 9x13 baking pan.
In a saucepan, combine salad dressing, soup mix, and cranberry sauce; mix well. Heat slightly on the stove, to dissolve the cranberry sauce; let cool thoroughly.
Pour sauce over chicken.
Bake covered at 325º for 1½ hours. Place your baking dish on a foil-lined cookie sheet, in case it boils over. Bake uncovered for an additional 30 minutes, or until brown.
Serve with rice pilaf, or your choice of side dish.
Randy, I see you are using the orange french dressing. Can you use the more red variety? Or would that detract from the taste? Also, can I pin this to my pinterest board?

Andrea, I would recommend sticking with the orange French dressing, rather than the red (Catalina). The flavor may be somewhat more bitter, due to the heavier tomato presence. Also, please feel free to pin this, or any of my items, to your Pinterest board. Thanks for checking out the site. I hope this is of assistance to you.
