- 2 ½ pounds chicken breasts, (2-3 breasts)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- ⅓ cup honey
- ¼ cup seedless blackberry preserves
- 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder, (or 3 garlic cloves minced)
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon ginger powder, (or 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Steps
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and place them in the bottom of a slow cooker.
Whisk together the soy sauce, honey, blackberry preserves, sweet chili sauce, hoisin sauce, rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper.
Pour HALF of the sauce over the chicken. Refrigerate the other half until later. Cook on LOW for 5-6 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours or until chicken is tender enough to shred.
Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it. Meanwhile, strain any excess liquid from the slow cooker into a small saucepan. Whisk the cornstarch and reserved sauce together in the saucepan with the juices.
Bring the liquid to a gentle boil then reduce heat and simmer until it has thickened, stirring occasionally.
Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and pour the sauce over the top, toss to coat, and enjoy!
