I pna seared both sides of each breast (6) in coconut oil, & used 2 quarts of homemade apple sauce. I added the eftover oil and juices from the pan into the apple sauce. Everybody loved it, thank you so much for this site. I can't wait to try more recipes from your site!!

I, however, played it safe, unwilling to put all my eggs in one basket (chicken in one crockpot) so I did a test run. I made the peppercorn steak for our lunch (love all that flavor!) and used my tiny crock pot to try the applesauce chicken. The smells that came out of it were tantalizing.

I was thinking raisins might taste good in there with the applesauce next time. I did not use frozen chicken, and used 6 boneless breasts. I doubled the applesauce, garlic and vinegar, kept everything else as is. I am not a huge fan of cinnamon so there was just enough for my taste. <br />Very good!My 3 Girlsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-17494111173956446352011-11-08T16:43:14.013-08:002011-11-08T16:43:14.013-08:00I was intrigued by the fruit/poultry combo and sin...I was intrigued by the fruit/poultry combo and since we had the ingredients I tried it. The chicken was really moist and broke apart beautifully, but my husband and I agreed that it was kinda wierd. It tasted good and was cooked fine, but we couldn't get over the apple/chicken combo. It needed a little something more I guess for us.

It's not as "onion-y" as an actual onion. Another option would be more garlic, or even fresh/freeze dried chives or shallots, which are all part of the onion family but a MUCH milder flavor.<br /><br />When I do chicken in the crock pot, I usually put the dry ingredients right onto the chicken.

I left out most of the onion, because we're not onion people, or as my husband tells me, when I eat them, I smell like a troll. :-) But I tried to compensate with doubling the cinnamon and a bit extra applesauce. My five-year-olds ate it, and I loved it as well (with buttered rice).
