Slow Cooker Creamy Cider Chicken

I found this recipe on Pinterest.  It’s the perfect Fall comfort food dinner.  Cooked low and slow for hours in apple cider.

Ingredients:

• 3 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 2 8 oz. blocks cream cheese
• 1 3 oz. package bacon bits
• ¾ cup apple cider
• 8 Pretzel buns
• Canned fried onions for topping

Directions:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper
• Add it to a slow cooker along with the cider and cream cheese.
• Cook on low 6 hours.
• Remove the chicken, shred, then place back into the slow cooker and mix together with the cream cheese and cider.
• Stir in bacon bits.
• Serve on a bun with crunchy fried onion on top.
