How to Make Honey Garlic Chicken Breast

It’s quite simple. All you have to do for this recipe is put all 5 ingredients into a slow cooker, turn it on, and walk away!

1. Make the sauce. You want to make the sauce in a separate bowl before pouring it into the slow cooker. Why? You want to make sure the honey has dissolved into the other ingredients.
2. Add the chicken breast. Spray the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray and then add the chicken breasts to the slow cooker.
3. Pour the sauce. Pour the sauce into the slow cooker over the chicken. Be sure the chicken is covered in the sauce.
4. Cook the chicken. Cook on high or on low.
5. Shred the chicken. Once the chicken has an internal temperature of 165ºF shred the chicken with two forks.
6. Optional thicken. If you like a thicker sauce add 1/2 tablespoon of cornstarch to the sauce and whisk the cornstarch into the sauce. Mix the chicken with the thick sauce, cover the slow cooker and let the sauce thicken.
7. Serve over rice. Enjoy!
