🛒 Ingredients (Only 5!)

Here’s all you need:

1. Chicken breasts or thighs (boneless, skinless)
2. Apricot preserves (or peach jam for variation)
3. Soy sauce
4. Garlic (minced or powder)
5. Fresh lemon juice

👉 Optional (but recommended for serving): chopped herbs like parsley, green onions, or a few edible flowers for that “spring blossom” look.

🍳 Step-by-Step Method

1. Prepare the Chicken

Start by placing your chicken breasts or thighs at the bottom of your slow cooker. Make sure they’re spread out evenly so they cook properly.

💡 Tip: If using frozen chicken, thaw it first for safer and more even cooking.

2. Make the Blossom Sauce

In a small bowl, combine:

• Apricot preserves
• Soy sauce
• Garlic
• Lemon juice

Mix until smooth. This creates a glossy, sweet-savory sauce with a hint of citrus brightness—perfect for spring flavors.

3. Pour and Coat

Pour the sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker.
Use a spoon or tongs to gently coat each piece so the flavor soaks in evenly.

4. Slow Cook to Perfection

Cover and cook:

• Low heat: 5–6 hours
• High heat: 2.5–3 hours

The chicken will become incredibly tender and absorb all the flavors from the sauce.
