This weekend, I was flipping through my recipe pile and came across this recipe. I was looking for something new to use boneless, skinless chicken breast (a staple in our house) for. I really liked the combination of the garlic, fresh ginger (which I LOVE) and soy sauce. Plus, it utilized the slow cooker — even better! I must be on a crock pot kick this week…this is the second recipe I’ve made using this trusted appliance! It’s just easy and convenient. So, why not?!?!
Is it a keeper?
YES! This recipe is very easy and very good! I mixed the ingredients to the sauce together earlier in the week and stored them in the fridge. Then when I was ready to make the dish, I just added it to the slow cooker. I love dished that I can pre-assemble a few days in advance!
I served the chicken and the sweet Asian inspired sauce over brown rice with a side of broccoli. I will definitely be making this again. And again. And again!
If you end up trying this recipe (which I highly recommend you do!) post your results here! I would love to hear how you made out!
In case you were wondering, this is the slow cooker I have. I absolutely LOVE it!

Wow! That looks yummy. Honey and garlic are such a natural match together and I love the addition of pineapple at the end. Is that “It’s a Keeper” a cookbook? Your photo styling is beautiful too.

Thanks so much!!!
i am slightly obsessed with honey and cannot wait to try this recipe….and it uses a slow-cooker!? be still my heart!
thank you for sharing with tuesday night supper club!
My family loves sweet & sour chicken, I think this recipe will be a ‘scrump-dilly-icious’ healthier replacement for that… And in my c’pot — yes Yes YES!!!!!
Thanx so much for your site, Christina! This ol’ “been cooking since my early teens” (35 + years) mom of 5 looks forward to your recipes… they give me ideas for something other than the ‘same old same old’.

I made this a few weeks ago and it was delicious!!!
THanks for sharing! So glad you liked it!
it looks so yummy and delicious! will definitely try this chicken recipe this weekend. thanks for sharing
As a new crockpotter, I have a beginners question: I leave my house for the entire day, so if I wanted to cook this on low, how many hours would be okay?
Thanks! This recipe looks wonderful!
I would set it for 6-8 hours. Make sure you use thick cut chicken breasts, though. Thin ones would cook too fast.
Good luck! And, enjoy your crock pot!
