• Add slices of chicken to the crock-pot. In a medium bowl, mix together the cranberry sauce, dry onion soup mix, apple juice, onions, and celery. Pour sauce over chicken and mix to coat.
• Cover and cook on low heat for about 6 hours until chicken is cooked through or for 3 hours on high heat. When finished, cut each slice of chicken into chunks before serving. If you want the sauce a bit thicker, pour the sauce into a small pot. Stir in a little cornstarch or flour (about 1 tablespoon). Over medium heat,  stir with a whisk or fork until the cornstarch or flour is dissolved and the sauce begins to thicken.
• Serving suggestions: It’s delicious just served in a bowl as a stew. Or, each serving can be served over 1 slice of whole wheat bread, over a small baked potato or on ½ cup brown rice.
