Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 3 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 ¼ cups chicken broth
- ½ cup honey
- ⅓ cup sriracha
- 1 tablespoon garlic paste (or grated garlic)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
Preparation
- Spray the inside of a slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
- Lay the chicken breasts on the bottom of the slow cooker.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, honey, sriracha, and garlic paste.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken.
Cooking
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 5-6 hours or on HIGH for 2-4 hours, until the chicken is easy to shred.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pot and shred it.
- Whisk the cornstarch into the sauce in the crockpot until no lumps remain.
- Add the shredded chicken back to the crockpot and mix to coat the meat evenly.
Serving
- Serve the chicken on a bed of rice or with steamed vegetables, in tacos or sandwiches, and garnish with green onions or sesame seeds.
Notes
For a milder dish, reduce the amount of sriracha. Marinate the chicken in the sauce for a few hours for deeper flavor. For a thicker sauce, let it simmer uncovered after adding cornstarch.
