Crockpot Honey Garlic Chicken

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs

  or chicken breasts
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 1/3 cup honey

  or maple syrup
• 2-4 teaspoons chili paste

  or sauce
• 3 garlic cloves

  minced
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

  or your favorite vinegar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• Cooked rice, quinioa, or cauliflower rice
• Toasted sesame seeds
• Chopped green onions

Instructions

• 1 Season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste and place in the bottom of a
  6-quart slow cooker.
• 2 In a bowl, whisk the soy sauce, honey, garlic paste, garlic, and vinegar
  together. Pour over the chicken. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours or HIGH
  for 2 to 3 hours, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165
  degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.
• 3 Remove the chicken from the crockpot and let cool slightly on a plate. Whisk the
  cornstarch and water together until completely mixed, and then pour it into the
  liquid in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH for 15 minutes, or until
  slightly thickened. For a thicker sauce, you can carefully transfer the liquid
  to a saucepan, bring it to a boil, and cook until reduced and thickened; about 5
  minutes.
• 4 Shred the chicken with two forks and place back into the cooking liquid, stir to
  coat, and serve over rice and top with green onions and toasted sesame seeds!
