Time 3h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (1.5 pound) package small yellow-fleshed potatoes
3 pounds skin-on, boneless chicken thighs
3 small apples, peeled and diced
½ medium sweet onion, diced
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup honey
⅓ cup applesauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Chop any large potatoes in half.
  • Place potatoes in the bottom of a slow cooker. Add chicken thighs on top of potatoes, and spread apples and onion over top.
