Ingredients

Scale
  • â…“ cup honey
  • â…“ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Cooked white or brown rice

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, low sodium soy sauce, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until fully combined.
  2. Place the chicken breasts or thighs in the slow cooker and pour the prepared honey garlic sauce evenly over the chicken.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours (or 4-6 hours if using thighs) or on high for 2-3 hours (or 2-4 hours for thighs), until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is tender.
  4. Take the cooked chicken out of the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes.

  6. Shred the rested chicken using two forks, then return it to the slow cooker to coat with the thickened sauce.
  7. Spoon the honey garlic chicken and sauce over cooked rice, and garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro.

Notes

Serve over rice and garnish with green onions or cilantro. Pairs well with steamed broccoli or a simple side salad.
