Step 1: Prepare the chicken and sauce. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker. In a small bowl, mix the Heinz 57 Sauce, honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring it's well-coated.
Step 2: Cook the chicken. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours until the chicken is fully cooked and tender. Once done, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and set aside on a plate.
Step 3: Thicken the sauce. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Add the slurry to the sauce in the slow cooker and stir well. Turn the slow cooker to HIGH and let the sauce cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until thickened. Return the chicken to the slow cooker and coat with the sauce before serving.
