Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast (about 1.5 pounds)
- ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
- ⅓ cup honey
- 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 3-4 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon cold water
- green onions and sesame seeds for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Add the chicken to the crockpot.
- In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, hoisin sauce, garlic, ginger and Sriracha. Stir until the honey dissolves. Pour over the chicken. Set the crockpot on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-7 hours.
- When the chicken is tender and easily shredded with forks, remove from the crockpot to a plate. Stir together the cornstarch and water and add to the crockpot turning the heat to high and keeping the lid on.
- Shred the chicken and add back to the crockpot. The sauce will thicken after a few minutes and the chicken will soak up the sauce.
- Serve over rice and with steamed broccoli or other veggies.
