Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken Recipe (served with brown rice, and a salad)
Ingredients:
4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (the original recipe used frozen, I did not)
1 cup light brown sugar**
1/2 cup honey
2/3 cup white distilled vinegar
1/4 cup Sprite or Lemon Lime Soda
3 Tbsp minced garlic
3 Tbsp soy sauce (I used light - that's just what I have)
1 tsp black pepper
2 TBSP corn starch
Directions:
Place chicken breasts in slow cooker. Combine all other ingredients, except corn starch, in a bowl and pour over chicken. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Remove chicken from slow cooker and shred in another bowl. Whisk corn starch in liquid in the slow cooker. Add shredded chicken back to the crock pot. Serve over rice. If desired, garnish with sesame seeds.
**I doubled this recipe and I had dark brown sugar in my canister, and ran out, so I opened my golden brown sugar. So this time around, I did half dark, half light brown sugar.
I made this once awhile ago, and saved some of the sauce to make a chicken stir fry the next night with the leftovers. It was really, really good!! Any basic fried rice recipe will do, and replace 1/2 or more of the soy sauce or teriyaki sauce with this sauce, and voila! Leftover Makeover!
Enjoy!!
