Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the crock pot in a single layer.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, honey, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken breasts in the crock pot, ensuring each piece is coated.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 4 hours or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Once the chicken is done, carefully remove the breasts from the crock pot and set them on a plate. Cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
Transfer the remaining sauce from the crock pot into a small saucepan and heat over medium heat.
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth. Gradually whisk this mixture into the saucepan with the sauce.
Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens into a glaze.
Drizzle the thickened glaze over the chicken breasts.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or brown rice.
