Ingredients

Servings

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
¹⁄₄ cup soy sauce
¹⁄₄ cup honey
2 clove minced
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp smoked paprika
tbsp Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, red pepper flakes, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place chicken breasts in the slow cooker and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the chicken is well-coated.
Cook on low for 4-5 hours or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
In a small bowl, mix water and cornstarch until smooth. Stir this mixture into the slow cooker to thicken the sauce. Allow it to cook for an additional 15-20 minutes.
Serve the chicken over a bed of fluffy rice or noodles, drizzling the rich sauce over the top. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for an added burst of flavor.
