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.

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.

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.

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