Ingredients Crockpot Honey Garlic Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
- Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions Crockpot Honey Garlic Chicken:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, ketchup, olive oil, minced garlic, dried basil, dried oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker insert. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken, making sure it’s evenly coated.
- Cover and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours or on high heat for 2-3 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Cooking times may vary depending on your slow cooker and the thickness of the chicken breasts.
- Once the chicken is cooked, carefully remove it from the slow cooker and transfer it to a plate. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix together cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the sauce in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high heat for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
- While the sauce is thickening, shred the cooked chicken using two forks
- Once the sauce has thickened, return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and toss it with the thickened sauce until well coated.
- Serve the Crockpot Honey Garlic Chicken hot over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired.
