  • Crockpot

Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 2 pounds chicken thighs use skinless thighs for a tender, leaner dish that absorbs the flavors beautifully

For the Sauce

  • 1 cup soy sauce opt for low-sodium if you're watching your salt intake
  • 1/2 cup honey adds a delicious sweetness
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar brings a tangy note
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced adds aromatic depth
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated introduces a warm spice
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil essential for authentic flavor

For the Vegetables

  • 2 cups broccoli florets add in the last 30 minutes

For the Thickening

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch helps create a luscious sauce
  • 2 tablespoons water mix with cornstarch to create a slurry

Instructions

How to Make Crockpot Chinese Chicken

  • Place the chicken thighs directly into your crockpot, ensuring they are spread out for even cooking.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil until well combined and fragrant.
  • Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken, allowing every piece to soak up the flavors.
  • Toss in the sliced bell pepper and sliced onion into the crockpot, incorporating them with the chicken and sauce.
  • Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender.
  • About 30 minutes before your meal is ready, add the broccoli florets to the crockpot.
  • Mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Stir this mixture into the crockpot to thicken the sauce.
  • Spoon the fragrant chicken and vegetables over a bed of rice, letting the sauce drape over everything.

Notes

Optional: Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for an extra touch of texture and flavor.
