Equipment

  • 1 Crockpot (slow cooker)
  • 1 Measuring cups
  • 1 Measuring spoons
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Serving spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts About 1.5 pounds.
  • ½ cup honey
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar Or apple cider vinegar.
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch Optional, for thickening.
  • 1 tablespoon water Optional, for thickening.

Instructions
 

  • Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, ground ginger, black pepper, and salt. Stir until well combined.
  • Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken breasts in the crockpot, ensuring they are fully coated.
  • Cover the crockpot and cook on low for about 4 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  • If you’d like a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with the water in a small bowl until smooth, then add to the crockpot during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Stir well.
  • Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the sauce using two forks or leave it whole for serving.
  • Serve hot with rice or your choice of sides.

Notes

You can add vegetables, such as carrots or bell peppers, to the crockpot for a complete meal.
Leftover chicken can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
This dish also works great as a filling for tacos or wraps.
