Slow Cooker: Honey Garlic Chicken

So, I’ve been dying to get a slow cooker, I mean the convenience is worth it, right? So, after going back and forth and debating whether it will end up sitting in the back of the closet in my kitchen, I decided to finally give it a go, yes I’m known for not investing more than 20-30 minutes per meal in the kitchen, but what about something more? Especially on a Friday when I would rather spend the quality time with my daughter than cook?

INGREDIENTS

• 4 Chicken Breasts
• 4 Small Potatoes, halved
• 2 Large Carrot, halved and cut length-wise
• Spring Onions for Garnish

SAUCE INGREDIENTS

• ½ Cup low sodium soy sauce
• ½ Cup Honey
• ¼ Cup Ketchup
• 3 Garlic Cloves
• 1 TBSP Dried Basil
• ½ TSP Chili Pepper
• ¼ TSP White Pepper

CHICKEN SEASONING

• 1 TBSP White Pepper
• 1 TSP Cumin
• 1 TSP Onion Powder
• 1 TSP Garlic Powder
• 1 TSP Sweet Paprika

DIRECTIONS

• Season the chicken and set aside.
• In a bowl combine all sauce ingredients and set aside.
• Layer the ingredients in the following order: Chicken Breasts, ½ the amount of the sauce seasoning, topped with potatoes, carrots, more chicken (if you have any to spare), and then remaining sauce seasoning.
• Cover and cook on high heat for 3-4 hours.

My husband loves his chicken broiled, so when serving I put it on the broil for 2 -3 minutes per side to crisp up.

For sauce, I used whatever was left in the bottom of the slow cooker, added it to a sauce pan and added a tablespoon of corn starch to thicken the sauce.

Serve hot drizzled with sauce and garnished with green onions.
