Crock Pot Chicken and Broccoli
Description
The recipe begins by mixing a sauce from soy sauce, hoisin, brown sugar, garlic, chili garlic sauce, sesame oil, optional fish sauce, and chicken stock. Chicken breasts cook submerged in this flavorful liquid in a slow cooker on low or high heat until tender enough to shred. After shredding the chicken, broccoli florets are added to the pot to cook briefly, preserving their texture.
This preparation yields juicy, shredded chicken coated with a savory-sweet-spicy glaze alongside vibrant broccoli, making it easy to serve over rice for a complete meal. The slow cooker method allows hands-off cooking and melding of flavors over several hours.
For Instant Pot users, cooking on manual high for 8 minutes followed by immediate venting, then adding broccoli to steam briefly, replicates the slow cooker texture with faster timing.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken breast boneless
- 1 lb broccoli florets
- 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 teaspoons Chili garlic sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce optional
Instructions
- In a medium sized bowl, mix together the soy sauce, hoisin, sugar, garlic, chili garlic sauce, sesame oil, and fish sauce if using. Whisk and add chicken stock.
- Add chicken to crock pot or instant pot and pour over sauce.
- Slow cook on high for 3-4 hours, low 6-8 hours. Flipping chicken 1/2 way, if possible. Not necessary.
- Remove chicken and shred in a bowl with two forks. Return to sauce in Crock Pot.
- Add broccoli florets on top of chicken, mix, and cook on high for another 30 minutes.
- Serve over rice and enjoy!
Notes
- To make this in an Instant Pot, cook the chicken on manual high pressure for 8 minutes, vent immediately, add broccoli, and steam briefly with the lid closed.
