Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1/2 cup honey or brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons water (for slurry if thickening)
  • Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients. Mince garlic and grate ginger for maximum flavor.
  2. Place chicken breasts in the crockpot’s bottom and set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and ginger. Pour the marinade evenly over the chicken.
  4. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours until the chicken is tender and infused with sauce.
  5. If a thicker sauce is desired, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to form a slurry. Stir into the crockpot during the last 30 minutes of cooking and turn to high briefly until thickened.
  6. Shred the chicken slightly and serve over steamed rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken thighs for juicier meat.
  • Adding pineapple chunks or bell peppers enhances flavor variations.
  • For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
