Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari/coconut aminos for gluten-free
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger optional
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • to garnish green onions optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by placing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in your crockpot. Make sure they are evenly spread out for the best cooking results.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground ginger, salt, and pepper until combined.
  3. Pour the sauce over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well-coated.
  4. Cover your crockpot with a lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.
  5. Once the cooking time is up, take the chicken out and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the sauce, stirring to mix everything together.
  6. Serve hot and garnish with sliced green onions for added color and flavor.

Notes

For best results, avoid opening the lid too often while cooking to maintain cooking temperature. This dish can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days or frozen for up to three months.
