- Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken thighs, quartered
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 3/4 cup freshly-squeezed orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange rind
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cassava flour
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 zucchini
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Directions
Place chicken pieces in the slow cooker. In a medium bowl, combine maple syrup, Sriracha, orange juice, orange rind, coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, flour, ginger, garlic, and chicken broth.
Cook on low for 3 hours.
Right before serving, spiral your zucchini (or use a veggie peeler and create long zucchini strips). Heat sesame oil in a large skillet and add zucchini. Toss. Ladle a small amount of the slow cooker liquid into the skillet. Toss until tender.
Divide zucchini into bowls. Using a slotted spoon, remove chicken from the slow cooker place over zucchini. You can serve as-is, or garnish with a little more orange rind or even some cilantro.
Enjoy!
