Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Wash and dry produce.

    Halve, peel, and cut onion into large chunks. Peel and mince or grate ginger. Trim and remove strings from snap peas.

  2. 2

    In a large microwave-safe bowl, whisk together apricot jam, soy sauce, mustard, and cornstarch. Microwave until warmed through, 30 seconds.

  3. 3

    Pat chicken* dry with paper towels.

    Place chicken, onion, and ginger into a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker; season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in apricot-soy mixture until thoroughly coated.

    Cover and cook on high for 2 hours.

  4. 4

    Once chicken has cooked 2 hours, transfer to a second large bowl. Using two forks, shred chicken. TIP: You can shred chicken directly in slow cooker, but be careful (it’s hot!).

    Return shredded chicken to slow cooker along with snap peas; season with salt. Stir to combine.

    Cover slow cooker with lid; cook on high until snap peas are crisp-tender and flavors meld, 20-25 minutes.

  5. 5

    Once you’ve added snap peas to slow cooker, in a large pot, combine rice, 2¼ cups water (4¼ cups for 8 servings), and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.

    Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

  6. 6

    Fluff rice with a fork and divide between shallow bowls. Top rice with apricot soy chicken and snap peas. Serve.

    Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
