Ingredients
2 lbs (4 pieces) of chicken breast
1 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
½ cup honey
¼ cup hoisin sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
6–8 cloves garlic, grated
2 scallions, sliced (for garnish)
1 tsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
¼ tsp salt, or to taste
¼ tsp black pepper, or to taste
Instructions
Prep the Garlic: Grate 6–8 cloves of garlic.
Mix Ingredients: In a slow cooker, add chicken breasts, soy sauce, honey, hoisin sauce, grated garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Stir everything until well combined.
Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours. Flip chicken halfway through cooking.
Shred the Chicken: Once the chicken is fully cooked and tender, shred it using two forks or a hand mixer.
Serve: Spoon the shredded chicken over cooked rice or noodles.
Garnish: Top with chopped scallions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
A hand mixer makes shredding chicken super quick and easy.
This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed vegetables, rice, or lettuce wraps.
Make it spicy by adding a dash of sriracha or red pepper flakes.
You can use chicken thighs for a juicier version.
