Slow Cooker Asian Glazed Chicken

Another crock pot recipe for the win!  The flavor of this one is delicious.  Here's the recipe:

Slow Cooker Asian Glazed Chicken

Ingredients:

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

4 teaspoons sugar

3 cloves garlic, crushed

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1 tablespoon Sriracha hot sauce* (more of less, depending on how hot you like it)

1/2 cup water

3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 tablespoon water

2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped

1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Directions:

Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Place chicken in crock pot.

Combine soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, sugar, garlic, ginger, hot sauce, and 1/2 cup water in a bowl and pour over chicken. Cook on low for 6-8 hours OR high for 3-4 hours.

Once done cooking, pull chicken out and place on large plate. Mix together cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl and pour into remaining liquid in the slow cooker. Turn heat to high (if it wasn't already) and cook for another 15 minutes (or until sauce thickens a little bit).

Shred chicken and add back into liquid in slow cooker.

Serve over rice, topped with green onions and sesame seeds.

*Sriracha hot sauce is available at most grocery stores and Wal-Mart. It is a Thai chili sauce with amazing flavor. It cost me about $3 for a huge bottle of it and it is totally worth it. The flavor it adds is so yummy.

Love this recipe!  I added the green onions on top but left off the sesame seeds. The Sriracha hot sauce is awesome and I highly recommend using it, but if you don't have any or can't find it, make this dish anyway.  The first time I made it I didn't use it and it was still really good.
