Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a medium sized bowl combine jam or jelly, wine, vinegar, soy, mustard and garlic. 
  • Pour into a large re-sealable bag and add the chicken breasts. Make sure chicken is totally covered in the marinade, remove as much air as possible and marinate for at least 4 hours, if not overnight in the fridge. Adjust chicken breasts occasionally. 
  • Dump chicken, with the marinade, into the slow cooker. Cook covered on low for 5-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours, or until your chicken breasts are done. 
  • You now have a few options.

Option 1

  • You can serve chicken directly from your slow cooker.

Option 2

  • The other option is to make a gravy or sauce from the juices in your slow cooker. You have to try this at least once!
  • Set your oven temperature to 200 or 250 degrees. Remove chicken to a pan or into an oven safe serving dish with a slotted spoon. Place in the oven to keep warm while you make your gravy.
  • Turn your slow cooker up to high or pour liquid into a pot on your stove top. Bring to a boil, if it is not already.
  • In a small bowl combine water and cornstarch.
  • Add to slow cooker and stir until incorporated.
  • Stir covered on high for about 10-15 minutes or until sauce is thickened.
  • Pour over chicken when serving. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure to marinate the chicken for at least 4 hours, or overnight in the fridge, before cooking it in your slow cooker to get the most flavor from your marinade. You'll be glad you did.
  • If you want a thicker sauce, reduce the liquid in a saucepan on your stovetop before adding it to your slow cooker.
  • To make a more intense raspberry flavor, use raspberry jam rather than jelly when prepping your chicken breast marinade.
  • If desired, finish chicken breast off with a few minutes under broiler for extra glaze crispiness
  • Add fresh raspberries or other berries if desired for added sweetness and texture.
