Crockpot Honey Garlic Chicken

Ingredients

• 2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (fresh or frozen)
• 0.5 cup honey (plus extra for drizzling)
• 0.5 cup soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
• 3 tbsp minced garlic (heaping tablespoons; fresh or jarred)
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 0.25 cup chicken bone broth (or chicken broth or water)
• sesame seeds (for garnish)

Steps

1. 1

   Place 2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breasts into the bottom of a crockpot.

2. 2

   Add 1/2 cup of honey, 1/2 cup of soy sauce (or coconut aminos), 3 heaping tablespoons of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1/4 cup of chicken bone broth directly into the crockpot.

3. 3

   Stir the sauce ingredients together in the crockpot around the chicken until well combined.

4. 4

   Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6 hours.

5. 5

   Once the cooking time is complete, remove the chicken and shred it completely using two forks.

6. 6

   Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and toss with the sauce to ensure it is well coated.

7. 7

   Serve the chicken over broccoli, cauliflower rice, or regular rice, drizzling extra sauce from the pot over the top.

8. 8

   Finish with a light drizzle of fresh honey and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Notes

The author notes that while her cookbook suggests mixing the sauce in a separate bowl, you can save dishes by mixing it directly in the crockpot. This recipe works well with stir-fry vegetables or as a meal prep option.
