Description

A delicious recipe cooked in the slow cooker, making it the perfect weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds Bone-in Chicken, Combination Of Drumsticks And Breasts
  • 1 whole Onion, Sliced Into Rings
  • ¾ cups Low Sodium Soy Sauce
  • ⅓ cups Balsamic Vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 whole Bay Leaves
  • 5 cloves Garlic, Smashed
  • 2 Tablespoons Peppercorns, Cracked
  • 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
  • ⅓ cups Chicken Broth
  • Rice For Serving
  • Chives For Serving

Preparation

Place chicken and onion in slow cooker. Pour soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, garlic, and peppercorns into the slow cooker and stir around, coating chicken. Add brown sugar, cornstarch, and chicken broth and stir again. Cook on low for 5-6 hours. Break and shred chicken up a bit (a potato masher works really well for this), serve over rice and garnish with chives.

Just a note for those who aren’t familiar with bay leaves — Make sure you take them out before serving!

Trying this tonight- my original plan was for another meal but realized I didn’t have all the supplies, then came across this one and just so happens I have everything! Well…I have boneless breasts so am using those istead. Can’t wait to see how it comes out!

So good and so easy! I halved the recipe, and hubby and I ate the whole pot. Only changes I made were to add red chili flakes for some kick and extra cornstarch towards the end of cooking for a thicker sauce.

Simply delicious! I used a whole cut-up fryer, and substituted a few ingredients for some that I had laying around rather than going out and buying a bunch for one recipe, but it turned out really good. Definitely going to be making this one again soon!

This one is definitely a keeper – so easy and flavorful! It made a wonderful dinner served over jasmine rice with some edamame. Thanks for sharing.

So easy, and I love the crockpot! I will make this again. My picky two year old even loved it.
