Slow Cooker Sweet Chili Chicken (3 Ways)

Slow Cooker Sweet Chili Chicken

PREP TIME 10 mins COOK TIME 3 hours TOTAL TIME 3 hours 10 mins

SERVES: 12

Ingredients
4 large chicken breasts
½ cup sweet chili sauce (my favorite brand)
1 cup chicken stock
¼ cup soy sauce (I use reduced sodium)
After Cooking:
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
½ teaspoon salt
Garnish:
Cilantro

Instructions

Stir together the sweet chili sauce, chicken stock and soy sauce in the base of a slow cooker.
Add the chicken and cook on low for 3 hours.
After 3 hours, pull the chicken out of the slow cooker and shred using two forks.
Pour the cooking liquid into a medium sauce pan. Stir together the water and cornstarch until no lumps remain, then add it to the sauce pan with the salt.
Bring to a boil (stirring constantly), then reduce heat and simmer until thickened (3-5 min).
Pour as much sauce as you'd like over the shredded chicken (I used just over half), and stir to coat.
Garnish with cilantro.

Notes
I don't recommend cooking this longer than 3 hours or on a higher setting, as the sweet chili sauce can burn.

This recipe makes 6 cups of shredded chicken.
