Applesauce Chicken

4 frozen chicken breast halves or thighs
1 ½ c applesauce (or more)
1 Tbsp dried onion flakes, or 1 yellow onion, chopped finely
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

A 3-4 quart crockpot is the best size for this. If your pot cooks fast, err on the lower end of cooking time.

Put frozen chicken pieces into your crockpot. Add the onion (if you are using the dried onion, wait and add it to the applesauce). In a bowl, mix applesauce, vinegar, garlic, and spices together. Pour on top of the chicken.

Cover and cook on low for 5-7 hours, or on high for 3-4.

Serve over rice.
