This is the second recipe I have tried and again it was very bland. It had no flavor to it.
You would think that the applesauce would make it sweet but it wasn’t.
Thanks for the recipes but it seems like they are not my taste.

I have the chicken set in the crockpot, but I don’t have butternut squash so I’m skipping that. I’m questioning whether or not to do the rice with apple juice. It sounds like this meal with turn out super sweet. Did it? I’m thinking of serving green beans with this meal, but do you think we will be missing out if we skip the apple juice in the rice? Thanks!

@orville, True...the tenderloins usually bake/cook in half the time!

ok, i loved the chicken. however, a word of advice…. use large breasts. do not use tenderloins!!!! i used both thinking that my kids could have the smaller pieces, but the little ones DRIED OUT bad. the larger ones were great though. also, we had baked sweet potato casserole instead of acorn squash. mmmmmmmm. thanks for the recipe!

@dj, You could certainly leave out the vinegar. I add it in to take some of the edge off the "chicken flavor"

What does the vinegar do? Is it necessary? My family loved this recipe but they didn’t like the smell of it cooking and I assume it is probably the vinegar. Can I leave it out? Or would apple juice serve the same purpose?

@dj, Yes, double the ingredients, not the time.

Slow Cooker newbie here. If I double the chicken, do I double everything else too? What do I do with the time?

I ended up not making the Slow Cooker Applesauce Chicken over the weekend, but it is on my list to make this week. I am substituting pork country-style ribs for the chicken, and am anticipating delicious success. I love that you can do that with chicken & pork recipes: substitute chicken for pork & vice versa!
