Slow Cooker Hoisin Chicken

Slow Cooker Hoisin Chicken features diced chicken breast cooked in a sweet and savory sauce made of hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, and sriracha, infused with garlic. Snap peas added near the end keep their bright color and crunch. The dish can be served over grains, with the sauce thickened by simmering or a cornstarch slurry.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast diced
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp sriracha
  • 227 grams snap peas
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • grain to serve, choice of grain

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a slow cooker, place in diced chicken breasts and crushed garlic cloves.
  2. In a small measuring cup, mix together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, and Sriracha sauce before pouring it on top of the chicken, fully covering the diced chicken.
  3. Set the slow cooker to high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours.
  4. In the last 15 minutes, open the slow cooker and mix in the snap peas.
To Thicken The Sauce (2 methods)
  1. Scoop out 1/3 to 1/2 of the sauce into a small sauce pan, bring it to a boil on the stove top for 3-5 minutes before adding it back to the slow cooker to coat the chicken.
  2. Make a cornstarch slurry (3 tbsp sauce in a bowl with 1 tbsp cornstarch, mix) and add it to your slow cooker then let the slow cooker cook on high for 15 minutes with the lid off (this allows moisture to evaporate and allows the sauce to thicken).
