1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless and skinless chicken breasts about 4 (6 to 8 ounce) breasts
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
kosher or sea salt to taste
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
2 tablespoons honey
2 garlic cloves minced
1 1/2 cups pomegranate juice no sugar added
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar

In a small mixing bowl combine all the herbs and spices.
Whisk together in a large mixing bowl the herbs, spices and the extra virgin olive oil. Rinse chicken, pat dry with a paper towel. Coat chicken with the herb and oil mixture, place in the slow-cooker. Note: this method of rubbing olive oil on the chicken before adding to the slow-cooker helps to seal in the moisture.
Whisk together in a medium mixing bowl Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, pomegranate juice and balsamic vinegar...pour over chicken.
Turn slow cooker to low and cook 4 - 6 hours on low. After chicken is done remove from the slow cooker, place on a serving platter and drizzle with liquid. This extra moist chicken pairs nicely with a small side of pasta. If using the Set 'n Forget Slow Cooker, program the temperature to 165 degrees or follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Slow Cooker size 5-7 quarts.
