Dinner 3 Hr. 55 Mins.

Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.
