Crockpot Sweet Garlic Chicken

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:

  1. Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, diced onion, ketchup, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to create the sauce.
  3. Pour the sauce over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
  4. 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.
  5. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
  7. Pour the slurry into the sauce in the slow cooker and stir to combine. This will thicken the sauce.
  8. 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.
  9. Serve the Crockpot Sweet Garlic Chicken over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
  10. Enjoy your delicious and flavorful sweet garlic chicken straight from the slow cooker!
