Ingredients:
- 4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
- 1/2 cup honey.
- 1/2 cup soy sauce.
- 1/4 cup diced onion.
- 1/4 cup ketchup.
- 2 cloves garlic, minced.
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste, for a hint of heat).
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch.
- 3 tablespoons water.
- Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish (optional).
- Cooked rice or noodles for serving.
Instructions:
- Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, diced onion, ketchup, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to create the sauce.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. The cooking time may vary depending on your slow cooker, so check for doneness.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
- Pour the slurry into the sauce in the slow cooker and stir to combine. This will thicken the sauce.
- Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to coat it with the thickened sauce. Let it cook for an additional 15-20 minutes on low to heat through.
- Serve the Crockpot Sweet Garlic Chicken over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
