Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons chili paste sambal oelek, sriracha, or hot sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • prepared brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice (for serving)
  • toasted sesame seeds (for serving)
  • chopped green onion (for serving)

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Method
 

  1. Place the chicken in the bottom of a 6-quart or larger slow cooker.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, tomato paste, chili paste, garlic, and rice vinegar. Pour over the chicken.
  3. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours or HIGH for 2 to 3 hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
  4. Remove the chicken to a plate and let cool slightly. Whisk the cornstarch into the slow cooker cooking liquid.
  5. Cover and cook on HIGH for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens slightly. For a thicker sauce, cook for a full 30 minutes.
  6. With two forks, shred the chicken and place it back in the slow cooker. Stir to coat the chicken with the sauce.
  7. Serve over rice, sprinkled with green onions and sesame seeds.
