Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of your crock pot.
Step 2
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 3
Stir in the brown sugar, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar into the saucepan. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is slightly syrupy.
Step 4
Pour the garlic brown sugar sauce over the chicken in the crock pot, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated.
Step 5
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Step 6
If you'd like to thicken the sauce, mix the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl to form a slurry. Approximately 20 minutes before the chicken is done, stir in the slurry and allow the sauce to thicken while continuing to cook.
Step 7
Once done, season the chicken with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 8
Serve the chicken with the thickened sauce spooned over the top. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.
Step 9
Pair with white rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
