Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Chicken and Sauce Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
Thickening Agent
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
Seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onions for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix together honey, soy sauce, ketchup, and minced garlic.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker and pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken.
Cooking
  1. Cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  2. Remove the chicken and shred it using two forks.
  3. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to form a slurry, then stir it into the sauce in the slow cooker.
  4. Cook on high for an additional 20-30 minutes to thicken the sauce.
  5. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to coat.
Serving
  1. Serve warm, garnished with green onions if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, try marinating the chicken in the sauce before cooking. Add red pepper flakes to the sauce for a spicy kick. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for 2-3 months. Add a splash of water or chicken broth when reheating to keep it moist.
