Ingredients

  1. 2 lb.boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  2. 1/2 cupsoy sauce (reduced sodium recommended)
  3. 1/4 cuphoney
  4. 1/4 cupbrown sugar
  5. 1/4 cuprice wine vinegar (apple cider vinegar works also)
  6. 1/2 tsp.sesame oil
  7. 3 clovesgarlic, minced
  8. 1/2 tsp.ground ginger
  9. 1/4 tsp.ground black pepper
  10. 1/4 cupcold water
  11. 1 tbsp.cornstarch
  12. Optional Garnishes :
  13. ·Sesame Seeds
  14. ·Scallions

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Lightly grease your slow cooker. Trim the fat off the chicken breasts and place in the slow cooker.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic and pepper.

  3. 3

    Pour sauce over the chicken and place the lid on. Cook on low for 6-8 hours OR on high for 3-4 hours (times may vary depending on how hot your slow cooker gets).

  4. 4

    Once chicken is tender and falling apart, take it out of the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Set aside. This is also a good time to cook rice or veggies (whatever you'd like to serve on the side.)

  5. 5

    Move the sauce carefully from the slow cooker into a medium saucepan. In a small bowl or in the measuring cup, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until cornstarch is completely dissolved. Then whisk that slurry into the sauce. Bring to a boil over med-high heat and simmer until thickened (should be a syrupy consistency). This will only take a few minutes.

  6. 6

    Pour sauce over the shredded chicken and toss to combine. Top individual servings with green onions and sesame seeds, if you'd like.

I love to bake and to try out new recipes! I'm always on the lookout for simple dinners for busy weeknights. A lot of the recipes I post on here are ones I've found on Pinterest or from different bloggers, and that I've tried and really enjoyed, but I always reference to where I got the recipe from in the recipe description and the pictures are my own. If there's no source listed, then it's a rare recipe that I came up with. I have two wonderful kids and I hope to pass on my love of cooking and baking to them.
