Ingredients

1 tablespoon Madras curry powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon pepper
8 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 4 ounces each)
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1-1/2 cups Goya mojo criollo marinade, well shaken
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Optional: Hot cooked rice, green onions and fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

Combine curry powder, garlic powder and pepper; sprinkle over chicken, pressing to help mixture adhere. Place chicken in a 3-qt. slow cooker. Sprinkle with onion. Carefully pour mojo criollo marinade along the sides of slow cooker, avoiding chicken to keep coating intact. Cook, covered, on low until a thermometer reads 170°, 4-6 hours. Remove chicken; keep warm., Pour cooking juices from slow cooker into a measuring cup; skim fat. In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; whisk in flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in cooking juices. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Reduce heat; add chicken and simmer about 5 minutes. If desired, serve with rice, green onions and cilantro.
