• Ingredients
• 2 pounds chicken thighs, quartered
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha
• 3/4 cup freshly-squeezed orange juice
• 1 teaspoon orange rind
• 1/4 cup coconut aminos
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon cassava flour
• 1 teaspoon minced ginger
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 zucchini
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Directions

Place chicken pieces in the slow cooker. In a medium bowl, combine maple syrup, Sriracha, orange juice, orange rind, coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, flour, ginger, garlic, and chicken broth.

Cook on low for 3 hours.

Right before serving, spiral your zucchini (or use a veggie peeler and create long zucchini strips). Heat sesame oil in a large skillet and add zucchini. Toss. Ladle a small amount of the slow cooker liquid into the skillet. Toss until tender.

Divide zucchini into bowls. Using a slotted spoon, remove chicken from the slow cooker place over zucchini. You can serve as-is, or garnish with a little more orange rind or even some cilantro.

Enjoy!
