Honey Garlic Chicken
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 chicken bouillon cube
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
For Serving:
- Prepared brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice
- Toasted sesame seeds
- Chopped green onion
- Steamed broccoli
Directions:
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Place the chicken in the bottom of a 6-quart or larger slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the soy sauce, honey, tomato paste, garlic, bouillon cube, and rice vinegar . Pour over the chicken.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 3-4 hours or on high for 2 hours (chicken needs to reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer).
- Remove the chicken and shred. I prefer using my kitchen aid mixer. Use the flat beater, and speed 2 until for about a minute.
- Whisk the cornstarch into the slow cooker cooking liquid along with the chicken. Cover and cook on HIGH for 15 minutes, until the sauce thickens
