A simple and delicious slow cooker recipe featuring juicy chicken breasts cooked in a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce using a dump bag for easy cleanup. Perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup (85 grams) honey
  • 4 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes if using until glossy and aromatic.
  2. Pat dry the chicken breasts with paper towels to help the sauce cling better.
  3. Place the chicken breasts in a dump bag or directly into the crockpot.
  4. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken. Seal the dump bag tightly, pressing out as much air as possible, or stir gently if cooking directly in the crockpot.
  5. Place the bag in the crockpot or cover the pot if cooking directly. Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is tender.
  6. Carefully remove the chicken and spoon some sauce over it. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.
  7. If a thicker sauce is preferred, transfer the sauce to a saucepan and simmer until reduced to desired consistency.
  8. Serve warm with your favorite sides and drizzle extra sauce on top.

Notes

Patting the chicken dry before adding sauce helps with better caramelization and flavor adherence. Using dump bags reduces cleanup and keeps chicken moist. Cooking times may vary depending on crockpot strength; check tenderness around 4 hours. To thicken sauce, simmer on stove after cooking. Can prepare dump bag the night before and refrigerate. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. Chicken thighs or pork chops can be used with adjusted cooking times.
