Description
Effortless slow cooker chicken with a sticky, savory-sweet glaze made from brown sugar, soy sauce, and garlic.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5–2 pounds total)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in the slow cooker.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, and black pepper until the sugar mostly dissolves.
- Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken, tilting the slow cooker or spooning to coat as needed.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours, or on HIGH for 3–4 hours.
- Before serving, check the internal temperature of the chicken — it should reach 165°F (74°C). Spoon the sauce over rice or vegetables and serve.
Notes
For gluten-free, swap soy sauce for tamari. For richer flavor, add rice vinegar or fresh lime juice.
