 Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken

From https://www.wellplated.com/slow-cooker-honey-garlic-chicken/

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts (approx 1 1/2 lbs)

1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce

1/3 cup honey

2 Tbsp tomato paste

2 tsp chili paste (sambal oelek)

4 cloves garlic minced (I used bottled garlic)

1 Tbsp rice vinegar

2 Tbsp cornstarch (I skipped this step)

Toasted sesame seeds and green onions for garnish 

Serve over brown rice

Directions

Place the chicken in the bottom of a slow cooker. In a medium bowl whisk soy sauce, honey, tomato paste, chili paste, garlic, and rice vinegar. Pour over chicken. Cook on High for 3 hours then reduce to low for 1/2 hour to an hour. Alternatively, you can cook on low for 5 hours. Shred chicken and serve over rice with garnish. Enjoy!

You may also remove the chicken before shredding and thicken the sauce with cornstarch by stirring it in the slow cooker for an additional 15-30 minutes on high (without the chicken).
