Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1.5 cups applesauce (unsweetened preferred)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Lightly grease the inside of the crock pot with olive oil.
Place the chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of the crock pot.
In a separate bowl, mix together the applesauce, honey, soy sauce, ground cinnamon, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the applesauce mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully coated.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken from the crock pot and place it on a serving platter.
Spoon the remaining sauce over the chicken for extra flavor, or transfer the sauce to a small bowl to serve on the side.
Serve the Crock Pot Applesauce Chicken hot with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.
