Big on flavor and easy on the cook's time, this slow cooker chicken recipe is appealing. The sweet-hot sauce gets its heat from the chipotle pepper. I serve this dish with a side of rice to use up every delectable drop of the sauce. Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each) |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
dash pepper |
1/2 cup chicken broth |
1/3 cup orange marmalade |
1 tablespoon canola oil |
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar |
1 tablespoon minced chipotle pepper in adobo sauce |
1 tablespoon honey |
1 teaspoon chili powder |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
4 teaspoons cornstarch |
2 tablespoons cold water |
Directions:
1. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Transfer to a 3-qt. slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine the broth, marmalade, oil, vinegar, chipotle pepper, honey, chili powder and garlic powder; pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until a thermometer reads 170°.
2. Remove chicken to a serving platter and keep warm. Place cooking juices in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Gradually stir into the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with chicken. Yield: 4 servings.
