INGREDIENTS

  • Juices

    • ½ cup orange juice
    • ¼ cup lime juice
    • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • Condiments

    • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
    • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Spices & Seasonings

    • 5 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
    • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
    • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
    • ½ teaspoon ground coriander
    • 🧂 ½ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Protein

    • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Thickener

    • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
    • 2 tablespoons water

STEPS

1

Combine orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, garlic, cumin, pepper flakes, coriander, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor. Pulse several times until mixture is well blended and smooth.

2

Place chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker. Pour juice mixture over all, cover, and cook on High setting until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 2 ½ hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

3

Shred cooked chicken with two forks, adding a little liquid from the slow cooker, if desired. If serving as a main dish, remove chicken to a plate, cover, and keep warm.

4

Strain liquid into a 1-quart saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Simmer until liquid is reduced to 1 cup, about 10 minutes. Combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl and stir until there are no lumps. Add cornstarch mixture to the saucepan, stirring continuously. Allow mixture to boil about 2 minutes, stirring continuously.

5

Remove from heat when sauce is thickened. Adjust seasonings, if necessary.
