Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • ⅓ cup hoisin sauce
  • ⅓ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar
  • 2 tablespoons minced ginger
  • ½ teaspoons chili-garlic sauce or to taste
  • 2 ¼ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, trimmed of fat
  • 1 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chicken broth, honey (or agave nectar), ginger and chili-garlic sauce.
  2. Place the trimmed chicken thighs in the bottom of a slow cooker. Pour the sauce over the chicken.
  3. Cook the chicken on HIGH for 1 ½ to 2 hours or on LOW for 4 hours, or until cooked through.
  4. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board, let cool slightly, then shred with two forks or your hands.
  5. Pour the sauce into a small saucepan. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water, then add to the sauce.
  6. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking frequently. Cook until the sauce is slightly thickened, 4 to 5 minutes.
  7. Place the shredded chicken in a bowl or into the slow cooker to keep warm, and pour ¾ cup of the sauce over top. (Reserve remaining sauce for serving over rice or stir-fried vegetables.) Toss to coat. Serve and garnish with green onions.
