SLOW COOKER MOJO CHICKEN



Slow Cooker Mojo Chicken image

This chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender. Allow enough time to marinate the chicken thighs, the longer the better. I serve the thighs over white rice and spoon some sauce over chicken. I also serve additional sauce on the side.

Time 10h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

¾ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
½ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
6 cloves garlic, pressed
2 medium oranges, zested
1 medium lime, zested
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 bay leaves
4 (6 ounce) bone-in chicken thighs

Steps:

  • Combine orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, garlic, orange zest, lime zest, oregano, salt, pepper, cumin, and bay leaves in a large resealable bag. Add chicken thighs, coat with marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight. Flip the bag over occasionally and rub over chicken thighs to evenly distribute marinade.
  • Place chicken and marinade in a slow cooker. Cook on Low until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 4 to 5 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

CUBAN-STYLE SLOW COOKER MOJO CHICKEN



Cuban-Style Slow Cooker Mojo Chicken image

Tangy and bright citrus flavors light up the taste of this chicken, prepared in the slow cooker. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are slow-cooked in a mixture of citrus juices and seasonings. You can shred the chicken breasts for an ingredient in other dishes, with a little liquid from the cooker, or you can serve the chicken breasts whole, as a main dish, with the yummy sauce. We like these whole, with Cuban Black Beans I, a recipe from the site, and steamed white rice.

Time 2h55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ cup orange juice
¼ cup lime juice
¼ cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
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
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Combine fruit juices, 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.
  • 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 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • 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.
  • Strain liquid into a 1-quart saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil until the 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.
  • Remove from heat when the sauce is thickened. Adjust seasonings, if necessary. Serve whole chicken breasts with sauce, if desired.
