I've had two people ask me this week why I haven't blogged in a while because they miss my recipes. (I'm not gonna lie, I teared up a little). Okay, actually that WAS a lie, but regardless I am glad people enjoy it and I will try to post more often between my crazy life moments. :) I made this recipe about a month ago, and my husband loved it. He said this is by far his favorite of the recipes I have been trying on this extreme cooking adventure. I am always a fan of anything I can make in a crockpot because I love having supper ready when I get home. For this recipe, you do want to be sure your chicken breasts are not frozen because you want them to soak up the sauce. You will need 5 chicken breasts, brown sugar ( I use the Splenda kind), soy sauce, garlic (chopped), and cornstarch. I marinated mine in the sauce overnight and it had amazing flavor! Begin by placing the chicken into a crockpot. Mix together 1/2 cup water, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup of soy sauce, and 1 T chopped garlic. (Do not add cornstarch yet) As I said, I mixed it the night before and soaked the chicken overnight, but you don't have to do this. Pour the mixture over the chicken and cook on low for 7 hours. I am serious, that is all you do to prep. How easy is that??!? Once the chicken has cooked, stir it all up so it shreds a little.
Remove the chicken but keep the sauce in the bowl. Add 3 T cornstarch mixed with 4T cold water to the sauce. Put the chicken back in and stir it up. This helps make the sauce a little thicker. Cook it a few more minutes, and enjoy! I put mine over rice, but my husband actually ate his shredded on a bun and said it was delicious. Either way, it was really good.
