Total Time: 7 hrs 5 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 7 hrs

Ingredients

• Servings: 7
• 5 chicken breasts (about 3 pounds)
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional, but wonderful)
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 4 tablespoons cold water

Recipe

• 1 spray the inside of your pretty crock pot with cooking spray.
• 2 place chicken breasts into the pot. if you are using chicken that has been frozen, be sure that it is completely thawed before you add it to the crock pot.
• 3 in a separate bowl combine water, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic and sesame oil. stir to combine and then pour it over the chicken.
• 4 cover the crock pot and cook on high for 4 hours, or on low for 7.
• 5 when the chicken is cooked remove it from the crock pot and place in on a plate.
• 6 in a small bowl combine corn starch and cold water. pour it into the crock pot and stir it in thoroughly.
• 7 take two forks and break the chicken breasts up a bit. i don’t like to shred mine up too much, just enough that the sauce has a chance to spread through the chicken.
• 8 place the chicken back into the crock pot and stir it around allowing the sauce to mix with the chicken.
• 9 cover the crock pot and let the mixture cook and thicken for 30 minutes.
• 10 serve over rice. enjoy!
