Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Green bell pepper
- 1 large Yellow bell pepper
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Slice the bell peppers into thin strips and mince the garlic cloves.
Step 2
Season the chicken breasts with salt and ground black pepper on both sides.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned but not fully cooked. Remove from heat.
Step 4
Place the seared chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, and minced garlic. Pour the mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
Step 6
Add the sliced bell peppers on top of the chicken in the slow cooker, spreading them evenly.
Step 7
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 4 hours or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
Step 8
Once the chicken is done, in a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
Step 9
Remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and set them aside on a plate. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the sauce in the slow cooker to thicken it.
Step 10
Return the chicken to the slow cooker and coat it with the thickened sauce. Let it cook for another 10 minutes on low.
Step 11
Serve the pepper chicken warm over rice, noodles, or alongside a fresh salad.
