This is such a simple slow cooker dinner using ingredients I pretty much always have around the house. I usually serve it over either rice (pictured with coconut rice) or quinoa, with a veggie on the side.

Cooking Instructions

1

Grease a slow cooker and lay the chicken it in. Sprinkle the onion over the top.
2

In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, ketchup, garlic, honey, sriracha, ginger and basil. Pour that mixture over the top of the chicken and onions.
3

Cook on low heat for 5-6 hours OR on high heat for 3-4 hours.

Once it's finished, remove the chicken to a cutting board and shred it. Then mix the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl to form a slurry and stir that in to the remaining sauce in the slow cooker.
5

Stir the chicken back into the sauce and place the lid back on. Let it cook on high heat for 15 or so more minutes, until the sauce thickens up a bit.
6

After that you're ready to serve. Store any leftovers in the fridge.

I had a bunch of little stuff to do today and didn't have time to spend in the kitchen. I was out of fresh garlic, but I had tons of chicken breast so I made it more Sriracha than garlic. It's going into the 'repeat regularly' list.

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.

OK, this is what I call INSPIRATION! I didn't have everything the recipe called for, but there was lots of what I did have. When it was done, I had a new favourite.
