Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 1134 g boneless skinless chicken thighs (or sub chicken breasts)
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
Sauce
  • 80 ml honey
  • 80 ml low-sodium soy sauce
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes optional, adjust for heat
  • 30 g Sliced green onions

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Method
 

  1. Season chicken thighs lightly with salt and black pepper and add to the insert of your slow cooker.
  2. Mix remaining ingredients together in a small bowl and pour the sauce over the chicken thighs in the slow cooker.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 2 1/2-3 hours.
  4. Remove the chicken thighs and either cut it into chunks or shred it with two forks. Mix the chicken back into the sauce in the slow cooker and let sit for at least 5-10 minutes, to help absorb the juices.
  5. Serve hot with any desired toppings and enjoy!

Notes

This dish pairs well with steamed rice or a fresh salad. To add more vegetables, consider adding sliced bell peppers or broccoli to the slow cooker during the last hour of cooking.
