This Slow Cooker Asian Chicken is one of my favorite crock pot recipes for chicken.
There is nothing better than an easy crock pot
Hi y’all! It’s Susanne from New South Charm here again this month with a new recipe your family is going to love.
When I tell you this was good what I really mean is that it’s out of this world. Not only was it packed with great flavor the chicken was juicy and tender.
Begin by placing chicken breasts in the bowl of you slow cooker.
In a bowl whisk together a half cup of water with soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, sugar, garlic and Sriracha sauce. Pour mixture over the chicken and then cook on low for six hours or high for four hours.
At the end of the cooking time remove chicken from slow cooker and set aside on a plate. Add cornstarch and a tablespoon of water to the liquid in in slow cooker and stir to combine. Replace lid and cook on high for 15 minutes so sauce can thicken.
While sauce is cooking shred the chicken. At the end of 15 minutes return chicken to crock pot and stir to coat in sauce.
I like to serve this over brown rice, White rice or even noodles are great with this too. Don’t forget to garnish with sesame seeds and green onions for a little bit of crunch.
