Slow-Cooker Soy-Braised Chicken

As I mentioned in my previous post, I've been trying to find easy slow-cooker recipes.  Today I wanted to utilize some chicken breasts that I had and some other ingredients that I don't use too often when cooking dinner.

The results were pretty good.  I'd probably use chicken thighs instead next time as the white meat does tend to get drier.  I would also reduce the amount of soy sauce I used as I found that flavour quite strong.

Ingredients:
2 medium onions, sliced
4 garlic cloves, smashed
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup (low-sodium) soy sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 bay leaf
1/4 tsp black pepper
1.5-2lbs skinless, boneless chicken
1 tsp paprika
1 large head bok choy and/or 2-3 handfuls of kale or spinach, cut into 1" strips

Directions:

1. Combine onions, garlic, vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, bay leaf and black pepper.  Place the chicken on top and sprinkle with paprika.
2. Cook on high for 4-5 hours (or on low for 7-8 hours) until the chicken and onions are tender.
3. Ten minutes before serving, make sure the slow cooker setting is high.  Gently fold in the bok choy/spinach/kale and cook, covered, until tender (at least 5 minutes).
4.  Serve over rice.
