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

- Ease of prep: Easy to prepare, but some felt the snap pea prep was time-consuming and the 2-hour cook time inconvenient.
- Suggestions: Consider sautéing onions and ginger before slow cooking; add more sauce ingredients for moisture and flavor 🍲.
