Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pound chicken breasts or boneless skinless chicken thighs (thawed)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- Sriracha (optional)
Honey Soy Sauce
- 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup seedless blackberry preserves
- 3 tablespoons Asian Sweet Chili Sauce
- 2 tablespoons quality hoisin sauce (like Lee Kum Kee or Kikkkoman)*
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1/2 onion, chopped or 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 4-6 garlic cloves, minced or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger or 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- chili sauce to taste
Instructions
- Rub chicken breasts with olive oil and place in the bottom of your slow cooker.
- Whisk Honey Soy Sauce ingredients together in a medium bowl and pour HALF of the sauce over the chicken. Refrigerate the other half until later. Cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours or until chicken is tender enough to shred.
- Remove chicken to a cutting board to shred. Meanwhile, strain any excess liquid from the slow cooker into a small saucepan. Whisk 2 tablespoons cornstarch with reserved refrigerated Honey Soy Sauce and add to saucepan. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally.
- Return shredded chicken to slow cooker and toss with thickened sauce. Cook an additional 20-30 minutes on LOW to allow the chicken to absorb even more flavor. When ready to serve, taste and add chili sauce to taste.
Notes
- *You can find hoisin sauce in the Asian section of your grocery store.
