Ingredients
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 cups halved button mushrooms
1 cup diced celery
1 cup diced green bell pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup diced yellow onion

In a mixing bowl, add apple cider through red pepper flakes. Whisk until cornstarch has dissolved. Pour into slow cooker and mix gently, keeping the chicken at the bottom.
