Chicken breasts cook up tender in a cider-based braising liquid with onions and apples. On fall weekends when folks gather for football games, be prepared with this easy crowd-pleaser. In less than 30 minutes, ingredients combine and virtually cook themselves over the course of the afternoon or even morning for a mid-day game. Take along in your slow cooker for a potluck hit. For a delicious twist, serve the chicken mixture over a bed of spicy baby arugula or stir into cooked your favorite whole grain. Leftovers make for a great portable lunch option with a few fresh apple slices.
