Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free version)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar. Pour the sauce over the chicken.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is tender.
- Shred the chicken with two forks and return it to the sauce in the crockpot.
- Mix cornstarch with water to make a slurry. Stir the slurry into the sauce and cook on high for 15-20 minutes to thicken the sauce.
Notes
- If you prefer chicken thighs, they will provide a richer flavor and stay juicier than breasts.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
- You can substitute tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free version.
