Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 pounds chicken, any cut (see blog post) seasoned with salt & pepper
  • 1 large apple or 2 small, diced
  • 1 tablespoon oil (for Instant Pot)

SAUCE

  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or more)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Slow Cooker

  1. If using potatoes, add those to the bottom of the slow cooker.  Add the chicken. Spread diced apples on top of the chicken.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together sauce ingredients until well blended.  Pour sauce on top of chicken.
  3. Cook HIGH 2-3 hours or LOW 4-6.

Instant Pot

  1. Turn the Instant Pot to saute. Once hot, add the oil. If you’re using skin-on chicken: add the chicken and sear, few minutes on each side until browned. Remove chicken from the pressure cooker.  If you’re using skinless chicken, skip this step.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together sauce ingredients. Pour the sauce into the pressure cooker and deglaze the bottom of the pressure cooker by scraping all the bits off with a wooden spoon.
  3. Add chicken back into the Instant Pot. Add apples (and potatoes if using) on top.
  4. Close lid and seal valve. Set high pressure and cook 12 minutes. When cook time is complete, quick release the pressure.
