Equipment

  • 1 6 Quart Slow Cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 Pounds Chicken Breast Diced into 1" Cubes
  • 2 Large Carrots Sliced
  • 1 Medium Yellow Onion Roughly Chopped
  • 1 Large Bell Pepper Roughly Chopped (Yellow, Orange, Red or Green)
  • Garlic Powder To Taste
  • Onion Powder To Taste
  • Black Pepper To Taste
  • Red Chili Flakes To Taste (Optional)
  • 1 Cup Chicken Bone Broth
  • ½ Cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 3 Tablespoons Honey
  • 1 Tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Hoisin Sauce
  • 4 Large Garlic Cloves Minced
  • ¼ Cup Corn Starch
  • 2 Cups Broccoli Broken into smaller pieces: I bought mine pre-washed and cut into bite sized pieces.

Serve with:

  • 3 Cups Cooked White or Brown Rice
  • Garnish with sliced green onions Optional
  • Garnish with sesame seeds Optional

Instructions
 

  • Start by dicing your chicken into 1" cubes on a cutting board dedicated for chicken. Using a new knife and a clean cutting board, slice your carrots (I used a crinkle cutter tool to slice my carrots, but this is not necessary), roughly chop your onion and your large bell pepper.
  • Add your diced chicken to the bottom of the crockpot followed by your chopped carrots, onions and bell peppers. Next, season with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper and red chili flakes (if using), to taste.
  • Then, prepare your sauce: Add your chicken bone broth to a small container followed by your low sodium soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, hoisin sauce, and freshly minced garlic cloves. Use a small whisk to combine everything together until smooth and then pour into your slow cooker on top of the chicken and vegetables.
  • Cook for 2-3 hours on high or 4-5 hours on low.
  • When you have 30 minutes left of cooking time, remove ¼ cup of your sauce from the crockpot into a small mixing bowl and then add ¼ cup of corn starch, using a whisk to mix thoroughly until well combined to create a corn starch slurry. Add the slurry back into the slow cooker along with the bite sized broccoli pieces and give everything a stir before cooking for the remaining time.
  • Serve with white or brown rice, garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if using.
  • Hint: Make sure that your chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 F. Once the chicken has reached temperature, avoid overcooking so as to not dry out the chicken!
  • Hint: If you have a slow cooker that cooks hot, or you’re cooking on high, I would recommend sautéing your onions first.
