I love using the slow cooker on busy days like the one I had today and when I found this recipe I was even more excited since I actually had all of the ingredients on hand.What I loved about this dish is that the chicken stayed really moist. I know that can sometimes be hard when you cook chicken breasts in the slow cooker. I will definitely be making this one again!
Slow Cooker Garlic and Brown Sugar Chicken
Source-Six Sisters Stuff
Ingredients
4-6 chicken breasts
1 cup packed brown sugar
2/3 cup vinegar
1/4 cup lemon-lime soda
2-3 Tablespoons minced garlic (I love garlic and used 4 cloves)
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
2 Tablespoons corn starch
2 Tablespoons water
Rice or noodles, cooked
Red pepper flakes (optional)
Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Place chicken inside slow cooker. Mix together brown sugar, vinegar, soda, garlic, soy sauce, and pepper together. Pour over chicken. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4 hours. Take chicken pieces out of slow cooker and pour remaining sauce into saucepan. Place saucepan over high heat. Mix together corn starch and water, pour into saucepan, and mix well. Let sauce come to a boil and boil for 2-3 minutes, or until it starts to thicken and turns into a glaze. Remove from heat and let sit for a minute or two (it will continue to thicken as it cools down).
Serve chicken over rice or noodles and top with glaze. Sprinkle red pepper flakes on top if desired.

ReplyDeleteJust put it together for dinner tonight. I love easy meals!
ReplyDeleteI did this last night and my chicken came out slightly burnt..i honestly don't think it needs more than 3 hours in the crockpot on low...
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear that. I think the cooking time all depends on the brand of slow cooker. Each one distributes heat a little differently.

DeleteHi Bridget, my name is Maria, I always use my real name and never hide behind the word "anonymous". This is an amazing recipe. I love all your recipes so much that I tried and added this one to my blog, but giving the link to here, as the original source, as I always do with everything I publish. Thank you very much for your time and kind consideration and for the excellent recipes you bring to us.
ReplyDeleteummm... isn't this recipe from Six sisters website anyway
ReplyDelete??
Yes, it is. Look below the title of my recipe. I adapted it from their website.
DeleteDo the chicken breasts need to be thawed first?
ReplyDeleteNope, you can use frozen. You will probably need to adjust the cooking time though.
ReplyDeleteI made this today with defrosted chicken breasts. I used Apple cider vinegar and used about three tablespoons of garlic powder (I didn't have real garlic). I also cooked it on high for two and a half hours. It came out tasting like Panda Express' sweet and sour chicken. Soooooooo good!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it!
ReplyDeletePlanning on making this tomorrow - sounds yummy! But I don't have the lemon-lime soda?? Is it necessary I wonder? (I'll let you know, I guess!)
ReplyDeleteI hope it turned out well!
