How to Make All Day Slow Cooker Chicken
- **Marinate Overnight:** In a large bowl or resealable bag, whisk together the marinade ingredients (see below). Add chicken pieces, ensuring they're fully coated. Refrigerate overnight (at least 8 hours).
- **Slow Cooker Magic:** Transfer marinated chicken to your slow cooker. Pour remaining marinade over the chicken, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
- **Low and Slow:** Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
- **High Gear:** Switch to high heat for 1 hour.
- **Sauté the Mushrooms:** While the chicken cooks on high, sauté 8 oz sliced mushrooms in 2 tablespoons of margarine or butter until softened.
- **Add the Veggies:** Add the sautéed mushrooms, 1 cup mandarin orange segments, 1 cup sliced green bell pepper, and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger to the slow cooker. Stir well to combine.
- **Thicken the Sauce:** In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1/4 cup milk, and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth. Gradually pour into the slow cooker, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
- **Simmer & Serve:** Cover and let simmer for 15-30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
