Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb. 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 Cloves Garlic
  • 2 Scallions
  • 1 tsp. Sesame Seeds
  • ¼ tsp. Salt
  • ¼ tsp. Black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Grate the garlic and keep it in a small bowl. Add chicken to the slow cooker.
  • Pour in honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil. Mix well to coat the chicken.
  • Add hoisin sauce, grated garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir everything until combined.
  • Cook for 3-4 hours on high or 6-7 hours on low. Flip the chicken halfway through cooking.
  • Shred the cooked chicken using a hand mixer or forks for quick shredding.
  • Serve over rice. Garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds. Enjoy!

Notes

Marinate First: Let the chicken sit in the sauce for 30 minutes before cooking for deeper flavor.
Thicken the Sauce: After cooking, transfer the sauce to a pan and simmer with a cornstarch slurry for a glossy finish.
Add Fresh Ginger: Grate a small piece of ginger for an extra layer of warmth and flavor.
Toast the Sesame Seeds: Lightly toast the sesame seeds for a nutty, aromatic garnish.
