an American recipe for the crockpot (slow cooker)

Prepare the chicken breast (halve large pieces) and add it to the crockpot with the vegetables. Add the thyme, marjoram, orange zest, and cinnamon. Pour over the orange juice and mix everything roughly. Cover and cook on “low” for 6-8 hours. After the cooking time is complete, switch the oven to “high” and briefly remove the meat from the pot. Season the vegetable broth with salt and pepper and, if necessary, thicken the dish with cornstarch mixed with a little water until smooth. Return the chicken pieces to the pot, let it warm through, and serve. This recipe is designed for a 6.5-liter crockpot. Tip: I stir the dish once after about 3 hours, as the chicken tends to stick together a bit. Braised red peppers go very well with it.
