SLOW COOKER CILANTRO LIME CHICKEN
Chicken breasts are one of the most popular cuts of meat, but I often find them dry and bland unless they've been properly brined or marinated. Enter the magic of the slow cooker, which solves our dry chicken problem with easy and elegance. Chicken breasts are slow cooked in a slightly spicy sauce until juicy and infused with flavor. Lime juice and salt tenderize the chicken as it cooks, and the result is restaurant-quality cilantro lime chicken that will transform you into a weeknight dinner super hero!

Steps:
- Place the chicken broth, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, jalapeno, salt, cumin, paprika, and pepper into a food processor. Blend until the garlic and jalapeno are pulverized and the sauce is well incorporated.
- Lay the chicken in a single layer in the crockpot. Pour the sauce over the chicken.
- Cover and cook on low for 8 hours for best results (or high for 4 hours).
- Using two forks, shred the chicken. Add the cilantro to the chicken, and toss again. Serve immediately (see post notes for serving suggestions). Leftovers keep in a tightly sealed container in the fridge for a week, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Steps:
- Toss the chicken in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker with the sesame oil, grated ginger and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Stir in the rice to coat. Stir in the chicken broth, ginger slices and 4 cups water. Cover and cook on low until the chicken is very tender and the rice is thick, 7 to 8 hours. Stir gently a few times, then let stand, uncovered, 10 minutes. Discard the ginger slices.
- Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until golden and slightly crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a small dish. Add the bok choy stems to the skillet, season with salt and cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add the bok choy leaves and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Add the bok choy mixture and fish sauce to the slow cooker and stir gently, breaking the chicken apart slightly; season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls. Top with the fried garlic, scallions, soy sauce and hot sauce. Serve with lime wedges.
