Slow Cooker Corned Beef Spice Chicken: Directions

  1. The raw chicken breasts go in the bottom of the slow cooker in one layer. Should they stick out a bit, that is all right, I would attempt to keep them as flat as possible so they cook evenly.

  2. Evenly place the cut cabbage on the top and all around the chicken breasts in the slow cooker and make sure that some of it is pushed down the sides to allow it to absorb the juices.

  3. Whisk all the ingredients in a medium bowl or large measuring cup: the chicken broth, the apple cider vinegar, the brown sugar, the corned beef seasoning, the salt, the black pepper and the olive oil or the melted butter (in case of its use) until the brown sugar is mostly dissolved and the ingredients are well mixed. This is your 1 mixture.

  4. Add this 1 mixture to the raw chicken breasts and cabbage slowly and in the slow cooker ensuring that all the chicken is moistened and that some of the seasoning mixture runs between the breasts and into the cabbage.

  5. Cover the slowed cooker with the lid and cook on LOW 4 to 5 hours or HIGH 2 1/2 to 3 hours, until the chicken is cooked and tender (internally, the temperature can be 165degF).

  6. After cooking, sample the broth and cabbage and season it, as necessary, with a little more salt or pepper. In case you want the sauce sweeter add one more teaspoon of brown sugar when hot.

  7. Served with the tender cabbage and ample of the savory-sweet cooking juices are the chicken breasts. Before serving sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, should you like.

Notes

  • Use fresh cabbage for better texture and flavor.

  • If the broth tastes too sharp, add a small amount of brown sugar.

  • You can keep the leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

  • Reheat gently in the microwave or slow cooker before serving.
