Cut up and brown your chicken breast,
once the chicken is browned, add all ingredients to crock pot. cook on high for 1/2 hour, then set to low. cook 6-8 hours

with rice and steamed broccoli this recipe was about 550 calories. amazing flavor and holds you over. give it a try and let me know what you think!

    Or just put in the oven at a low heat in a covered dish. While I LOVE my crockpot I wouldn't run out one.....besides right now having the oven on warms up the kitchen (nice,warm,AND smells so good!) Michigan....not Florida, teeheeee

    Sounds really good. I have never cooked with cranberries but have always wanted to try it. And I think there may be a few opportunities to substitue in the recipe to get the calories down further. Quick question fresh ginger or the spice (dried)?
