Description
One of many slow cooker recipes that I enjoy and love is this sticky honey chicken recipe made using chicken breast, honey, light soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and onion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 500g chicken breast, diced
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1/4 cup light soy sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 small onion, thinly sliced
- Flour for coating
- Butter for browning
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Coat the diced chicken breast in flour. In a pan, melt some butter over medium heat and brown the chicken, but do not cook it through. Add the thinly sliced onion towards the end and cook until slightly softened.
- Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, mix together 3 tbsp of honey, 1/4 cup of light soy sauce, 1 tbsp of brown sugar, and 2 tsp of minced garlic until well combined.
- Combine in the slow cooker: Add the browned chicken and onions to the slow cooker. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken. Stir to ensure the chicken is well-coated with the sauce.
- Cook the chicken: Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Serve the dish: Serve the sticky honey chicken with rice and vegetables on the side for a complete meal.
Notes
For a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with water and add it 15 minutes before serving. You can substitute chicken breast with boneless, skinless chicken thighs for a juicier result.
