Slow Cooker September

Honey and Garlic Chicken

To kick of "Slow Cooker September", I decided that I would start with this really tasty chicken dish! I normally make this yummy Honey and Garlic Chicken in a pan so I was intrigued to see if I could do it in the slow cooker too and, not to big myself up or anything, it was delicious! 

Ingredients

3 Chicken Breasts

1 Spring Onion, divided

3 Cloves of Garlic, minced

1 Tsp Grated Ginger

1/2 Cup Honey

3/4 Cup Soy Sauce

1 Tbsp Demerara Sugar

1 Tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar

 1 Tbsp Cornflour

Rice to Serve

Method

1. Place Chicken at the bottom of the Slow Cooker.

2. Make the sauce by combining Soy Sauce, Honey, Sugar, Garlic, Ginger, Rice Wine Vinegar and White part of Spring Onion in a bowl.

3. Add the mixture to the chicken.

4. Cook on LOW for 3-3.5 hours (this may take longer depending on the size of your chicken breasts)

5. After 3-3.5 hours, remove the chicken and using two forks, shred it and set aside.

6. Cook your Rice.

7. Pour the sauce into a saucepan and make a slurry using the Cornflour and 2 Tbsp Water. Add this to the sauce.

8. Heat the Sauce until its bubbling and starts to thicken. Throw the chicken into the pan with the sauce and toss to cover it completely.

9. That's you ready to serve and tuck in!

This chicken is delicious the next day as a pizza topping or in a hot baguette with cheese! It is even pretty tasty cold, so you could use it to brighten up a salad or in a sandwich.
