Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs Chicken breasts Boneless and skinless
  • 1/2 cup Honey
  • 1/2 cup Soy sauce Low sodium preferred
  • 4 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 2 tbsp Hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch For the slurry
  • 1 tbsp Water Cold, for the slurry
  • 1/4 cup Green onions Sliced

Instructions
 

  • Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, hoisin sauce, and rice vinegar until well combined. Pour the mixture evenly over the meat.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours, or HIGH for 2 to 3 hours, until the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
  • Remove the meat from the slow cooker and transfer to a cutting board. Shred it using two forks.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the liquid remaining in the slow cooker. Turn the heat to HIGH and let it bubble for 10 minutes to thicken into a glaze.
  • Return the shredded meat to the slow cooker, toss to coat evenly in the thickened sauce, and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
