Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
  
  

• 1/2 cup honey
  
  

• 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  
  

• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  
  

• 1/4 cup water
  
  

• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  
  

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  
  

• 2 tablespoons water (for cornstarch slurry)
  
  

• Cooked rice, for serving
  
  

• Sliced green onions, for garnish
  
  

• Sesame seeds, for garnish
  
  

Directions

1. Prepare the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, water, and apple cider vinegar until well combined.
   
   

2. Combine in Crockpot: Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated.
   
   

3. Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
   
   

4. Thicken the Sauce (Optional): About 30 minutes before serving, remove the chicken from the crockpot. In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Stir this mixture into the sauce in the crockpot. Cover and cook on HIGH for an additional 15–30 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
   
   

5. Shred the Chicken: Once the sauce has thickened, return the chicken to the crockpot. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces, stirring to coat it in the sauce.
   
   

6. Serve: Serve the honey garlic chicken over cooked rice. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
