SLOW COOKER CHICKEN PHO

Steps:

• Place the first 11 ingredients in a slow cooker (chicken broth through pepper) and heat on High for 4 hours or Low for 8 hours.
• Using a fine mesh strainer, pour cooked chicken broth over a large soup pot to remove the lemon peel, cinnamon stick and other spices from the broth; discard remnants.
• To serve, divide noodles evenly between four bowls and top with 3 ounces of cooked chicken in each bowl. Ladle two cups warm chicken broth over each bowl and serve with optional toppings.

Steps:

• Toss the chicken stock with brown sugar, fish sauce, cinnamon, star anise, ginger, and cloves. Place the chicken breast flesh in the slow cooker and cover with stock. Cook the chicken and stock in the crockpot on low for 6 to 7 hours.
• Remove the chicken breasts from the crockpot and place them on a plate. Take the whole spices out of the soup. Add the bok choy to the stock and simmer for another 30 minutes on high in the crockpot.
• Shred chicken, slice jalapeos, and prepare sprouts, basil, and lime for garnishing while the bok choy cooks.
• About 20 minutes before the bok choy is done, return the rice noodles and shredded chicken to the broth to complete cooking for the last 10 minutes.
• Toss bean sprouts, jalapeos, basil, and lime to taste into big cups of soup.
• If desired, top with sriracha, chili paste, and/or hoisin sauce.
• (optionally add soft boiled eggs at the very end, if you like them)

• - Add chicken to bottom of crockpot (You can cook chicken before, but I put it in uncooked) - Combine broth, brown sugar, fish sauce, star anise, cloves, ginger and cinnamon stick in a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. - Cover and cook on High for 4 hours (or on Low for 8 hours). (I did low FYI) Transfer the chicken to a cutting board. Remove spices and discard. Add noodles and bok choy to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on High for 30 minutes. Shred the chicken with two forks. When the noodles are tender, stir in the shredded chicken. Serve bowls of soup with bean sprouts, basil, mint, cilantro, sliced chile and lime wedges on the side so everyone can add their own toppings.

• TIPS & NOTES.
• To prep ahead: Combine seasonings with broth; prep chicken; cover and refrigerate separately for up to 1 day. | Equipment: 5- to 6-quart slow cooker.
• Tip: Add star anise, named for its star-shaped pods, to Asian-inspired dishes to lend distinctive licorice-like flavor. Look for it with other bulk spices in natural-foods stores, in Asian markets or online at penzeys.com.
• For easy cleanup, try a slow-cooker liner. These heat-resistant, disposable liners fit neatly inside the insert and help prevent food from sticking to the bottom and sides of your slow cooker.
