Servings 6 people

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken breasts
  • 1 lb chicken thighs
  • 1 small gala apple, diced
  • 1 small onion, diced we sometimes omit the onion and it's still great!
  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 2 teaspoon salt

Option Two: Avocado Chicken Salad

  • 1 large avocado, mashed
  • 1 celery stalk, diced
  • 1 tablespoon EVOO
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup grapes, quartered
  • 2 cups arugula / kale of whichever green you'd like to use

Instructions
 

  • Set up your crock pot. 
  • Dice the apple and onion, transfer to the crock pot. 
  • Season the chicken breast and thigh using the salt and transfer to the crock pot. 
  • Place 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar and 2/3 cup water into the crock pot. 
  • Set your crock pot to low for 4-6 hours (ours our usually ready about 5 hours. If they sit in the crock pot too long they will get mushy, and you don’t want that!)
  • About 15 minutes before I serve the chicken, I like to shred it so it nicely soaks up the juices. If you shred too early, it will get mushy!
  • For the sandwich, I serve on a pretzel bun with some mashed avocado and viola – a perfect meal!
