Today is a day of mourning. After 4 great years together, my slow cooker kicked the can . . .
Thankfully they still sell the same make and model, so I am heading to the store tomorrow to go purchase it again (because heaven knows that I use my slow cooker 5 times a week and can’t go more than a day without one!). 🙂 In the meantime, I wanted to share the last meal that my slow cooker and I prepared together. It was quick, easy, and had just the right amount of kick . . . the perfect way to remember my good ol’ crock pot.

Serves: 4 people
SLOW COOKER ASIAN GLAZED CHICKEN RECIPE
This is quick, easy, and had just the right amount of kick
Ingredients
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ½ cup balsamic vinegar
- 4 teaspoons sugar
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 Tablespoon Sriracha hot sauce* (more of less, depending on how hot you like it)
- ½ cup water
- 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 2 Tablespoons corn starch
- 1 Tablespoon water
- 2 Tablespoons green onions finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Place chicken in crock pot.
- Combine soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, sugar, garlic, ginger, hot sauce, and 1/2 cup water in a bowl and pour over chicken. Cook on low for 6-8 hours OR high for 3-4 hours.
- Once done cooking, pull chicken out and place on large plate. Mix together cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl and pour into remaining liquid in the slow cooker. Turn heat to high (if it wasn't already) and cook for another 15 minutes (or until sauce thickens a little bit).
- Shred chicken and add back into liquid in slow cooker.
- Serve over rice, topped with green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
*Sriracha hot sauce is available at most grocery stores and Wal-Mart. It is a Thai chili sauce with amazing flavor. It cost me about $3 for a huge bottle of it and it is totally worth it. The flavor it adds is so yummy.

I've looked around at reviews for several slow cookers, but can't make up my mind.
