Ingredients
- 2 pounds split chicken breasts skin removed, or 1 ½ pounds boneless chicken breasts or thighs
- ½ cup less sodium soy sauce *see note
- ⅓ cup honey
- ⅓ cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon onion powder or ½ small onion, finely diced
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Combine soy sauce, honey, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, onion powder, and red pepper flakes.
- Place chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker and pour the sauce over top. Cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or until the chicken reaches 165°F in the thickest part.
- Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and place it in a bowl. Use two forks to shred it, discarding the bones. Lightly cover to keep warm and set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of water and cornstarch. Transfer the liquid from the slow cooker to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. While whisking, drizzle in the cornstarch mixture a little at a time to reach the desired consistency; you may not need all of the mixture. Let boil 1 minute.
- Pour the sauce over shredded chicken and stir to coat. Garnish with green onion and sesame seeds if desired.
- Serve over rice or noodles.
Notes
- Depending on how much liquid your chicken produces, you may not need all of the cornstarch mixture.
- Soy Sauce Note: Use low-sodium soy sauce, or this dish will be too salty. If using regular soy sauce, replace half of the soy sauce with water.
