Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing 2 to 3 chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker, ensuring they lie flat for even cooking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine a generous 1/2 cup of honey, 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 4 cloves of minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of grated ginger. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Pour the honey garlic mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker, ensuring even coating.
  4. Chop a bell pepper, slice carrots, and add broccoli florets and snap peas into the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Sprinkle some salt and pepper over the mixture, adjusting according to your taste.
  6. Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat. Let cook for about 6 hours.
  7. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water 30 minutes before cooking time is up and stir it into the slow cooker.
  8. Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks.
  9. Serve the Honey Garlic Chicken And Veggies over rice or quinoa.
