    my kids didn't like the clove but I thought it was a nice change, I would add almonds or walnuts though - 2/4/10

    I do not like cranberries at all but I tried this because my husband does like them and it was something different. My husband was leary at first. We both loved it! Thanks - 12/2/08

    I really liked this. Since Vidalas are in season I used one instead of regular onions, which adds a little extra sweetness. I used whole berry cranberry sauce instead of the jellied stuff. Delicious; definitely a keeper. - 5/22/08

    This chicken comes out tasty and moist, although mine wasn't very pretty. I chopped the onions, since DH doesn't like sliced, cooked onions. Next time I will try onion powder or maybe even onion soup mix instead. - 3/11/08

    I thought this was very good-we will have to wait and see what my husband thinks as he is the one who doesn't really like to try "new" things. - 3/7/08

    Really good, but I think next time I will just use onion powder instead on an onion - 1/10/08

    OK, but I didn't care for the onion with cranberry sauce and the cloves were a bit much, will change a couple of things next time. - 7/9/07
