- 2 cups water
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 3 tablespoons coconut sugar (regular sugar is fine, too)
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- juice and zest of one mandarin orange (or half of one navel orange)
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped peeled fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed
- 2 teaspoons dried star anise pieces
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 1/2 - 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Whisk together the first five ingredients (water through juice and zest) and add to the crock of a slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients, ensuring that the chicken is largely submerged in the poaching liquid. Cover and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours.
- Serve chicken on a bed of greens, spoon some of the poaching liquid over the chicken.
