Using the slow cooker makes preparing meals a breeze. Caregivers can start them in the morning and serve them later that evening, or have seniors serve themselves. Makes four servings.

INGREDIENTS:

• ½ cup light brown sugar

• 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

• 2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce

• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

• ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper

• 1 ½ lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 8)

• 1 cup long-grain white rice

• 1 tablespoon canola oil

• ¾ pound snow peas, trimmed

• 2 heads baby bok choy, leaves separated

• 1 red bell pepper, sliced

• 4 scallions, cut into 2-inch lengths

• 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

• black pepper

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker, mix together sugar, soy sauce, lemon juice, fish sauce, ginger, and crushed red pepper. Add the chicken and turn to coat.

2. Cover and cook until the chicken is tender on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours
