Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1-1/2 cups honey
  • 3/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3/4 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup diced yellow pepper
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons minced garlic about 3 cloves
  • 1/2 tablespoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper
  • 6 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 3 Tablespoons water
  • 3 large carrots chopped
  • Sesame seeds and Scallions for garnish optional

Instructions

  • Whisk together the tomato paste, rice wine vinegar, honey, and soy sauce until smooth.
  • Add in the diced vegetables and minced garlic. Add red pepper flakes, if desired.
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and add to the slow cooker.
  • Set the slow cooker on low to cook for 5 hours.
  • 30 minutes before serving, add the carrots and remove the chicken. Use two forks to pull it apart. Return to the slow cooker.
  • In a small dish, make a slurry with cornstarch and water. This will thicken the sauce.
  • Turn the heat up to high for 30 minutes.
  • Serve over rice with a garnish of sesame seeds and scallions if desired.

Notes

Note: You could add the carrots to the pot, but I find that they get too mushy for my taste.

    My favorite meal in the slow cooker is Chili. I’ve been making it for years without a recipe. A few years ago, I began using ground turkey to make it healthier. I usually make it once a week during the fall and winter months, my family loves it 🙂

    My favorite is pinto beans with pork steaks(together in the slow cooker). I make the beans with fried potatoes & onions, turnip greens, and homemade biscuits. It’s the BEST country meal ever. My mom made it a lot when I was growing up except she used the stove for her beans. I take the easy route.

    My favorite thing to cook in my slow cooker is a Boston butt pork roast, I cover bottom of cooker with. Worshershire sauce, place roast in and put a rub over it….I use a mixture of seasoning salt, and few other herbs/spices …cook on low for 7-8 hours for a 3-5 lb roast….pull out and either slice or pull apart and add BBQ sauce …
