Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 4 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- 2 tablespoons grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons natural rice wine vinegar
- 4 tablespoons cold water
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- Diced green onions for topping

Instructions
- Add chicken to a 6-quart slow cooker.
- In a bowl whisk together low sodium soy sauce, honey, hoisin sauce, sriracha, grated ginger, minced garlic, and rice wine vinegar.
- Pour the mixture over the chicken and put the top on the slow cooker.
- Cook on high for 4-6 hours or until the chicken starts to pull apart naturally.
- Once it has reached this stage you can start pulling the chicken in the slow cooker until it's fully shredded.
- If the sauce is still pretty watery you can mix together the cornstarch and water (mix until the cornstarch has fully dissolved in the water!) and pour into the slow cooker.
- Stir to combine, put the lid back on the slow cooker and let sit for 10 minutes.
- At this point, the mixture should have thickened up nicely.
- To serve top with diced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. You can serve the chicken over top rice, on a bun, or straight from the slow cooker.
