Ingredients
4 large cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup honey
1 cup ketchup
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Directions
Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer on the bottom of your slow cooker insert.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, honey, ketchup, and soy sauce until well combined and smooth.
Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set to low heat for 6–7 hours, or high heat for 3–4 hours.
Cook until the chicken is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F when measured with a meat thermometer at the thickest part.
Serve the chicken breasts with the honey garlic sauce spooned over the top, alongside your choice of rice, noodles, or vegetables.
Comments
The ingredients are completely available at any Charlotte chain, and the cost per serving runs about $3.50 to $4.00 given current chicken and honey prices, making it budget-friendly for weeknight dinner. The stated 423 minutes is actually honest for slow cooker recipes, though the active prep time is under ten minutes. This is a genuine set-and-forget family meal that reheats beautifully and requires zero attention once everything goes in the crock, but the flavor profile is very standard American takeout-style and won't feel regionally connected or particularly exciting after the first or second rotation.
