Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
- 1/4 cup honey

- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a touch of heat)
- Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions:
-
Combine the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
-
Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in your slow cooker. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and easily shreds with a fork.

Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve the chicken over rice, quinoa, or your favorite vegetables.
Tips and Variations:
- For extra flavor: Marinate the chicken in the sauce for at least 30 minutes before slow cooking.
- Thicker sauce: Mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry. Stir this into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking to thicken the sauce.
- Add vegetables: Include your favorite vegetables, such as broccoli florets, carrots, or bell peppers, during the last hour of cooking.
- Spice it up: Increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add a dash of your favorite hot sauce.
- Make it a complete meal: Serve the chicken over rice, noodles, or with a side of roasted vegetables for a balanced and satisfying meal.
