Crockpot Apple Cider Chicken Thighs 

INGREDIENTS

3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs

Salt and pepper to taste

1 shallot, minced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 apple (I used a Honeycrisp), peeled, cored and sliced into 1/4 inch pieces

1 bay leaf

1 cup apple cider

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tsp dried thyme (or 2 tsp fresh)

INSTRUCTIONS 

1-Place chicken in slow cooker and season with S&P. 

2-Sprinkle shallot, garlic, sliced apple and bay leaf over chicken.  Mix cider, vinegar, oil and thyme together and pour over chicken.  

3-Cook on low 6 hours.  Spoon the sauce over the chicken to serve (I ladled some of it into a small saucepan and simmered over medium heat until reduced by about half, which thickened the sauce a bit and concentrated the flavors).
