Categories     Slow Cooker

Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon pepper, or to taste
1 cup orange marmalade
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 to 1 teaspoon ground ginger, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, lightly toasted if desired (add to a dry skillet and cook over medium heat for about 30 seconds or until fragrant)
2 tablespoons green onions, sliced thin for garnishing
orange slices, optional for garnishing

Steps:

  • Line a 3 to 6-quart slow cooker with a liner if using one. I prefer to use liners for easy cleanup.
  • Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over bottom of the liner or slow cooker.
  • To a large, gallon-sized ziptop plastic bag, add the chicken, cornstarch, salt, pepper, seal bag, and toss to coat chicken evenly. Add chicken to slow cooker, evenly distributed; set aside.
  • To a 2-cup measuring cup or medium bowl, add the orange marmalade, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, ginger (I prefer 1 teaspoon but some people are sensitive to ginger), garlic, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and stir to combine.
  • Pour mixture over the chicken, using a spoon to distribute the sauce as necessary, making sure all pieces are coated.
  • Cook covered on high for about 2 hours or on low for about 4 hours. If cooking on high, start checking at 90 minutes and if cooking on low, start checking at 3 hours. All slow cookers vary so cook until chicken is done (reaches 165F on an instant read thermometer).
  • Add chicken to a plate with as much extra cooking sauce spooned over the top as desired, garnish with sesame seeds, green onions, optional orange wedges, and serve immediately.

Why not use the slow cooker to make your Sunday lunch? Cooking low and slow ensures wonderfully tender, juicy chicken - then use the pan juices to make gravy

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course

Time 5h15m

Number Of Ingredients 1

1 large chicken

Steps:

  • Heat the slow cooker if necessary and add a splash of water to the base. Scrunch up some foil to make a trivet to sit in the base of the bowl to rest the chicken on. Put the chicken into the pot and season the skin. Cover and cook on Low for 5 hours or until the leg or wing feels very loose when you wiggle it. Tip the juices inside the chicken out as you lift it out.
  • Brown the chicken skin under the grill or carve the chicken before anyone sees it. Spoon the liquid out of the base of the pan to use as gravy, there won't be much but it will have a good flavour.
