This Slow Cooker Brown Sugar and Garlic Chicken recipe is sweet and tangy. The chicken slow cooks all day, then the sauce gets thickened up to make a nice glaze. This chicken goes well over brown rice or whatever your favorite rice is.
Ingredients:
4 Large Chicken Breasts
1 Cup Brown Sugar
2/3 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 Cup Lemon-Lime Soda
8-10 Garlic Cloves, minced or finely grated
2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
1 teaspoon Black Pepper
2 Tablespoons Corn Starch
2 Tablespoons Water
Crushed Red Pepper Flakes, optional for serving
Combine chicken, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, soda, garlic, soy sauce and pepper together in a slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4 hours.
Once cooked, remove chicken from the slow cooker and shred it.
Pour the sauce into a saucepan and whisk in cornstarch and water. Bring to a boil and let bubble for 2-3 minutes to thicken. Remove from heat and let sit for a couple minutes before serving. The sauce will thicken up.
Serve chicken over brown rice with the sauce on top. Sprinkle on some crushed red pepper flakes to spice it up.
