This mojo chicken made in the slow cooker with a mixture of orange juice, lemon, lime, garlic, and seasonings is tangy and full of bright citrus flavors. You can shred the chicken to use in other dishes, with a little liquid from the cooker, or you can serve the chicken breasts whole with the yummy sauce.

Ingredients

  • 0.5 cups orange juice
  • 0.25 cups lime juice
  • 0.25 cups lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 5 cloves garlic , peeled and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
  • 0.5 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 2 pounds boneless , skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. 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. 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. 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. 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. 5

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