Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 lbs (4 pieces) chicken breast
Sauce
- 1 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 6–8 cloves garlic, grated
- ¼ tsp salt, or to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper, or to taste
Garnish
- 2 scallions, sliced
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the garlic: Grate 6-8 cloves of garlic finely to ensure the flavor infuses evenly into the sauce.
- Combine ingredients in slow cooker: Place the 4 pieces of chicken breast into the slow cooker. Add the reduced sodium soy sauce, honey, hoisin sauce, grated garlic, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine the sauce ingredients around the chicken evenly.
- Cook the chicken: Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-7 hours, flipping the chicken halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking and flavor absorption.
- Shred the chicken: Once fully cooked and tender, remove the chicken breasts and place them in a large bowl. Use a hand mixer or two forks to shred the chicken finely, then return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker to mix with the sauce.
- Serve: Spoon the shredded soy honey garlic chicken over cooked rice. Garnish with sliced scallions and sprinkle with sesame seeds for added flavor and crunch.
Notes

- A hand mixer makes shredding the chicken quick and easy without needing to manually shred it with forks.
- Serve with steamed rice or noodles to soak up the delicious sauce.
