There are many chicken crock pot recipes around,
but you don't see many Chinese crock pot chicken recipes.
So, I've prepared two very special Chinese style crock pot
recepies for chicken.
What makes Chinese crock pot cooking different
and unique is the spices used. 5 spices powder, star anise,
Szechuan peppercorns are just a few of the hundreds used.
You
can learn alot more about Chinese cooking here. These
spices aren't too hard to find - a trip to your local Asian
grocery store should do it.
Note that some of these spices such as 5 spice
powder are very strong in taste and aroma, so use them sparingly
cooking your chicken crock pot recipes.
Veggie and Chinese Chicken Crock Pot Recipe
Chicken breast - 400g (chopped)
Cabbage - 2 cups chopped
Red and green peppers - 1 each (chopped)
White onion - 1 (chopped)
Chinese peppercorn - 1 teaspoon (grinded)
Honey - 1 tbsp
Soy sauce - 2 tbsp
Salt - 1 to 2 teaspoons
Diced ginger - 1 tbsp
Chicken soup stock - 1 to 2 cups
Corn starch - 2 tbsp + 1/4cup water
-
Mix all the ingredients in the slow cooker
(but not the starch and water), and cook on low for 6
to 8 hours. Or 4 to 6 hours on medium-low.
-
In the last 30 minutes mix the starch
and water into the pot. This will thicken the chicken
in the crock pot. Then serve.
This next Chinese chicken crockpot receipe
tastes very good, with a little spiciness added.
