Weeknight meals tend to be where I fall short. If you read my latest Meal Planning Ideas for Families post, I give you some good tips and tricks and share more about why this tends to be the hardest thing for me. I either don’t plan ahead or end up making something my family doesn’t like. It can be disheartening so when I’m choosing meals, I try and think about what we’ve had in the past that they have enjoyed.
Asian-inspired garlic chicken seems to always be a hit, but I have learned that the sweeter the sauce is, the better it tastes AND the more inclined my kiddos are to eat it. So I made sure to create a recipe that is filling, nutritious, and sweet! Does your family enjoy this type of chicken?
Slow cooker meals are always nice and easy, especially the ones where you don’t have to do any prep like searing beef or precooking the meat. I love that this meal was a ‘one-drop stop’ and I was able to do it quickly to enjoy the rest of our Sunday.
How to Make Sweet & Sticky Honey Garlic Chicken
- Grab your slow cooker and spray it with cooking spray, if you want. It doesn’t have to happen but you are more than welcome to for a bit more of easy cleanup. You can also get these liners that really help with the mess.
- Add your chicken to the cooker, fresh or frozen. Either way is the same cooking time which is really convenient!
- Once the chicken is in there, pour your chicken brother over the chicken and flip your breasts to make sure everything is coated.
- Add your liquid ingredients, except for the cornstarch and water, on top of the chicken.
- Cover with lid and set on low for 6 hours OR high for 4.
- At the 30 minute mark shred your chicken with two forks and stir to make sure everything is incorporated. Combine the water and cornstarch, or flour, and pour into the cooker, stirring everything together. This will thicken the sauce so it’s not so liquidy.
- Serve over rice and veggies, and enjoy!
