Ingredients
8 boneless chicken thighs, skin removed
1 tablespoon Chinese 5-spice powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 white onions, roughly chopped
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1/3 cup tamari
1 tablespoon coconut sugar
1 teaspoon red chili flakes
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup pea pods
2 scallions (white and green parts), sliced
Instructions
Season the chicken thighs with the Chinese 5-spice powder.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear until browned on both sides, 3-4 minutes.
Lay the onions in the bottom of your slow cooker pot, and lay the chicken pieces on top.
Whisk the broth, vinegar, tamari, coconut sugar, red chili flakes, and bay leaf together and pour over the chicken.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high 3-4. When the chicken is done, add the pea pods and cook 10 minutes, or until soft.
Serve topped with the scallions.
