Crock Pot Honey Garlic Chicken

by Nancy Reynolds September 24, 2018
3.4K

As much as I love trying new recipes it’s not often that I hit the jackpot. In fact, rare is the day that I make a new recipe and my entire family gives it a thumbs up.

This Honey Garlic Chicken, however, is different! My whole family loved it! My son, who’s by far my pickiest eater, couldn’t wait to try it even before I put it on his plate and my daughter in college was so envious she wasn’t home to try it, she ended up making it for her friends and roommates and they all loved it too!

It’s an absolute breeze to make and it’s so delicious! The chicken is incredibly juicy and tender and the Asian garlicky flavor of the sauce along with the sesame seeds and scallions served on a bed of rice is bursting with flavor. Plus, the best part is it only takes 15 minutes to toss everything together and the crock pot does the rest.

Recipe adapted from Chef Savvy

Rating: 5.0/5
( 1 voted )

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (approx. 2 pounds) sliced into thin strips
  • 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey (add an additional 1/4 cup if you want the sauce sweeter)
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon ginger
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 long green onions, sliced thin and divided (white part will be used for cooking, the green for serving)
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place chicken in the crock pot.
  2. In a medium bowl whisk together soy sauce, honey, hoisin sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and the white parts only of the long green onions.
  3. Pour the sauce over the chicken and cook on low for  3-4 hours. (Check the chicken after 3 hours. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of your chicken - mine cooked perfectly in three hours.)
  4. Remove the chicken from the crock pot, place on a plate and cover with tinfoil to keep warm.
  5. Transfer the liquid from the crock pot to a small saucepan.
  6. Whisk 2 tablespoons of cold water with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Slowly add the cornstarch mixture to the sauce to thicken.
  7. Cook on high until bubbly and thickened, whisking constantly. Pour the sauce back into the crock pot along with the chicken and toss to coat well.
  8. Remove chicken from crock pot, serve over rice and sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions for garnish.

NOTES:

  • Feel free to adjust the amount of honey you add to this recipe. For a sweeter sauce add more. I opted to use a 1/4 cup of honey which was plenty sweet, but you can add up to a total of a 1/2 cup if you wish.
  • The hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and rice wine vinegar can all be found in the Asian or international section of your grocery store. (Easy ingredients to find.)
  • If you're short on time, you can add the cornstarch and water mixture directly to the crockpot as opposed to placing the sauce in a saucepan to thicken. The sauce may not become quite as thickened, but it will still taste great!
  • This recipe is delicious served with broccoli.
