- Number of Servings: 8
Ingredients
4 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts2 C Sweet potato, raw, cubed (1" cubes)1 C Apple, cubed1 C Celery, chopped (not diced)1 Small Onion, raw (sliced or diced, your preference)1/2 C Dried Cranberries (craisins)1 C Light Cranberry Apple Juice1 tsp Rosemary1 tsp Thyme1 tsp Cinnamon1 tsp Pepper1 tsp Salt
Make 8 Servings
SPECIAL NOTE: DIVIDE THE SPICES - 1/2 goes in at the beginning; 1/2 goes in 30 -60 minutes before serving. If you won't have time before serving, you can put them all in at the beginning but it will be less flavorful.
Place fruit & vegetables in the bottom of the crockpot, cover with juice. Sprinkle 1/2 the cinnamon over fruit and vegetable mix.
Add chicken breasts, sprinkle 1/2 of each of the remaining spices over everything.
Cover and cook on high heat for 4-6 hours or low heat for 6-8 hours depending on your crockpot.
Turn the chicken over and add the other half of the spices about an hour before you plan to serve it.
** I tried it with half Orange Juice half Cranberry Juice and it was still delicious but the orange flavor stood out more than I expected.

I'm cooking it now but I didn't have cran-apple. I had cranberry juice and orange juice so I'm doing half of each. It smells divine! I can't wait to taste it later. :-)
** Update: It was wonderful! It is even better as leftovers.
