Slow Cooker Applesauce Chicken

Published: Apr 15, 2015 · Modified: Apr 12, 2015 by Rebecca Pytell · This post may contain affiliate links.

Two simple ingredients infused together with the help and ease of the slow cooker. Savory and sweet, this applesauce chicken will soon become a family favorite. Paleo and gluten-free with no refined sugars, healthy and simple at it's best!

No, don't run! This recipe works, 100%! It's super delicious, even though it may seem strange. The savory and sweet thing going on here is really a pleasure to the palate! It's isn't "sweet" sweet anyway since we'll be using unsweetened applesauce, so don't get any dessert sweet nightmares here! I'd never post a recipe that tasted bad...although I tend to like weird things, but my brother ate this one and didn't complain so I think I found a winner!

I made this recipe back at home during winter break. I was having major cravings for applesauce and thought, "what the heck?! Let's throw a jar in the slow cooker with some chicken breasts!" Now though, I'm kicking myself for not making homemade applesauce with it. Next time..... But lazy jarred applesauce works totally fine and it just goes with the theme of easy slow cooking!

I guess this isn't that weird of a combo though. Back in the day when I was a wee-one and still ate pork, I had the combo frequently. My mom would make plain pork chops on the stove and then I would eat them dipped in applesauce. So I guess this is reminiscent of doing that except this is better and more "grown-up" so to speak!

Ah, childhood dinner memories. Like the days when smoothing down your pile of mashed potatoes, making garden rows on top with your fork, and then planting broccoli trees in them! My brother and I got really creative with dinner time. Pastina pies, naming our lima beans after Mystic Knights characters (my mom joined in on this one!), good stuff, but we always ate our food too! Haha! We were not picky eaters!

Anyway, back to this chicken. I also added some simple spices to flavor it up some more. Of course, if you couldn't already guess, cinnamon is involved! Needless to say, this smelled phenomenal while it was slowly cooking away! In the end, this chicken falls apart, so soft, and such a wonderful unique flavor! If you want the easiest family dinner ready for you on a weeknight, make this! Kids, adults, grandparents...everyone will like it! Especially if you pair it with some mashed potatoes and broccoli trees 😉

Slow Cooker Applesauce Chicken

Slow Cooker Applesauce Chicken | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 #chicken #dinner #slowcooker #paleo #glutenfree

Ingredients: (serves 4)

+ 2lbs (4 breasts) of Chicken (trimmed and cleaned)

+ 2 Cups of Unsweetened Organic Applesauce (homemade would be awesome!)

+ ½ Tsp Onion Powder

+ ½ Tsp Garlic Powder

+ ¼ Tsp Black Pepper

+ ¼ Tsp Cinnamon

Directions:

+ Place the chicken in the slow cooker first, then add the applesauce and spices. Cover and cook on low for 7 hours or until chicken is done.

I always feel silly posting these "recipes". I mean, there isn't much to it! I guess I'm just offering cooking for the non-cooks, but everyone always seems to love an easy, quick, simple dish! Plus, the slow cooker just magically transforms chicken. So here are some words or wisdom: when in chicken-doubt, throw it in the slow cooker!

So tell me:

+ Favorite sweet and savory combo? I always forget that an apple and PB counts as sweet and savory (well I guess that depends on the PB or nut butter you use...but, that's my vote!)

+ Do you still use the slow cooker/crockpot when the weather warms up? I do, but I will also be obsessed with grilling everything! Last summer was so much fun when I finally learned how to use the grill myself!

    Hi Rebecca,
    This sounds like a delightful recipe and so easy. I have been cooking for most of my life, and I am 63 now, but for years now, my rule has been, If I can't make it in 30 mins. I don't use the recipe. I used to make these recipes that sometimes took hours or the day, and after smelling it all that time, when it came time to eat it........it was like Yuk or else it wasn't worth all the time invested, and at my age, easy is wonderful...........cause I have other things I want to
    do with my time than cook..........lol
    and yes, I do like to use the crock pot at times...........
    Also Cracker Barrel restaurants used to make an applefest chicken recipe years ago in the Fall, that was to die for,
    so am hoping this tastes like it, cause we had it that one Fall and they never had it again for some reason.

    You take care,
    Blessings, Nellie

It turned out deliciously moist by the looks of it, and anything in the slow cooker is a bonus isn't it? Very nice, and thank you for sharing it with the crowd at Fiesta Friday.

Green beans, kidney beans (my fav!), cannellini, some finely diced red onion, fresh parsley, and a sweet and tangy dressing made with @bragg apple coder vinegar, @pompeian evoo, a touch of dijon, salt, pepper, and a pinch of celery seed! A classic for a reason; it will last in the fridge all week for a quick side or light lunch too! 🤤🙌✌️

This recipe was the LAST one I made back in NJ last summer! It is one of the best pasta salads to ever appear on Strength and sunshine! Using @eatbanza Cavatappi, crisp romaine, grape tomatoes, my homemade coconut bacon, homemade aquafaba mayo, seasoned with a pinch of salt and pepper! It's SO easy and quick! You are going to fall in love! Ditch the gluten, meat, and eggs in this BLT salad and still get all the delicious flavors and heartiness you love! 🤤🙌✌️

Perfect tostones require the unripe green plantains (got mine from @theboysfarmersmarket), they're super cheap (like 20-30¢), peel, slice, soak them in some water, lime juice, and salt, use your @gowiseusa air fryer to give them the first "fry", then get out your frustrations by smashing them into flat discs with a tostonera or a heavy mug, toss them back in the air fryer to finish getting golden and crispy! Serve with an extra pinch of flaky salt and salsa dips of choice! 👌
