Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste) (optional for spice)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • 1 tablespoon water (optional, for cornstarch slurry)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce:
    In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, and gochujang (if using). Stir until the sugar dissolves.

  2. Cook the Chicken:
    Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring it’s evenly covered.
    Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and easily shreds with a fork.

  3. Shred the Chicken:
    Once the chicken is done cooking, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
    If you want a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with a little water to make a slurry and stir it into the sauce in the slow cooker. Cook on high for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens.

  4. Serve:
    Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to coat it in the sauce.
    Serve the chicken over rice or in wraps. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken in the sauce overnight before cooking.
  • If you like extra spice, increase the amount of gochujang or add chili flakes.
  • Serve with steamed vegetables or a simple salad for a balanced meal.
