1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs2 tablespoons canola oil1/3 cup reduced sodium soy sauce2 tablespoons brown sugar2 tablespoons water1 garlic clove, minced1 teaspoon ground ginger (I really like McCormick brand)1/4 cup slivered almonds
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the chicken for 5 minutes on 1 side and then 5 minutes on the other side in oil. Transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker. Combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, water, garlic and ginger; pour over chicken.
Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until chicken juices run clear. [I generally cook for 3/12 to 4 hours. Longer cook time means shredded chicken. Still delicious!] Remove chicken to a serving platter sprinkle with almonds.
