Honey Garlic Chicken in the Slow Cooker
Servings 6
My Honey Garlic and Ginger Chicken slow cooker recipe is an easy, flavourful and versatile dish perfect for the whole family.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon mild vegetable oil
- 6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts You can also use 8 to 10 skinless, boneless chicken thighs.
- ½ cup soy sauce Use tamari instead to make the recipe gluten free.
- the juice and rind of a fresh orange
- ½ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 inch fresh ginger root, peeled and finely grated
- 4 cloves of garlic, peeled and minced
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- Brush the inside of the slow cooker with the oil.
- Lay the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, orange juice and rind, ketchup, honey, ginger, garlic, basil, salt and pepper.
- Pour over the chicken, spreading evenly over all the meat.
- Put the lid on the slow cooker and cook for 6 hours.
- When the chicken is cooked, remove it from the sauce. Leave the sauce in the slow cooker.
- Shred the chicken with two forks and return it to the slow cooker to absorb even more of the sauce.
- Serve with brown rice or noodles and stir fried vegetables or on toasted rolls with a fresh lettuce and veggie garnish. I like to use shredded spring onions and radishes.
- Cool any leftovers and refrigerate.
