Instructions
1

Begin by placing 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of your crock pot. Pour 2 cups of spiced apple cider over the chicken, ensuring they are well-coated.

2

Add 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger to the pot for a warm spice blend.

3

Toss in 1 cup of fresh or frozen cranberries for a tart contrast to the sweetness of the cider. Drizzle 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup over the top to enhance the flavors.

4

Cover the crock pot and set it to low heat for 6 hours, allowing the chicken to absorb all the delicious flavors.

5

After 6 hours, carefully remove the chicken and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot and stir it into the sauce.

6

For an extra touch, serve the chicken over a bed of wild rice or quinoa, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.

Enjoy your flavorful and nutritious meal!
