Slow Cooker Mojo Chicken

In a blender or food processor, combine the orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice, white vinegar, olive oil, chopped garlic, ground cumin, red pepper flakes, ground coriander, salt, and ground black pepper. Pulse several times until the mixture is thoroughly blended and smooth. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker. Pour the blended juice mixture evenly over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the slow cooker and cook on the High setting for approximately 2 1/2 hours, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (Cook time: 2 hours 30 minutes)

Once the chicken is cooked through, use two forks to shred the meat. If desired, add a little of the flavorful liquid from the slow cooker to keep the chicken moist and enhance the taste. If you prefer to serve the chicken breasts whole, carefully remove them to a serving plate, cover to keep warm, and set aside. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Strain the remaining liquid from the slow cooker into a 1-quart saucepan. Bring the liquid to a boil over medium-high heat and allow it to simmer until it reduces to about 1 cup, which should take approximately 10 minutes. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until there are no lumps. Gradually add the cornstarch mixture to the simmering sauce in the saucepan, stirring continuously to prevent clumping. Allow the mixture to boil for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. (Cook time: 15 minutes)

Remove the thickened sauce from the heat. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed, adding a pinch more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes to suit your preference. Pour the sauce over the shredded or whole chicken and serve hot. Enjoy the bright, citrusy flavors of your Slow Cooker Mojo Chicken! (Prep time: 2 minutes)
