Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cups Soy sauce
- 0.33 cups Honey
- 0.25 cups Ketchup
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoons Ginger, grated or minced
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoons Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crock pot in a single layer.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, ketchup, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken, making sure each piece is coated evenly.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on 'High' for 4 hours or on 'Low' for 6-8 hours, depending on your schedule.
Once the chicken is tender and cooked through, remove it from the crock pot and shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir this slurry into the sauce in the crock pot.
Turn the crock pot to 'High' and allow the sauce to thicken for 5-10 minutes while stirring occasionally.
Return the shredded chicken to the thickened sauce, stirring to coat it evenly.
Serve the savory sweet chicken over steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or with roasted vegetables.
Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired, and enjoy!
