Forks (to shred)

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
½ teaspoon minced garlic
¼ teaspoon ginger
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
¼ cup apple juice

1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
⅓ cup water
⅓ cup low sodium soy sauce
2 Tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

Place chicken breasts in the bottom of slow cooker.
In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, apple juice, brown sugar, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, water and soy sauce. Pour sauce on top of chicken.
Replace lid and cook 5-7 hours on low (every crock pot is different - be sure to not overcook so that your chicken isn't dry). Remove chicken and shred or cut into chunks.
In a small bowl, mix together 2 Tablespoons cornstarch with 2 Tablespoons of sauce from the crock pot. Whisk together and pour back into the crock pot to thicken the sauce.
Return chicken to the slow cooker and let warm until ready to serve. Serve over rice and garnish with additional red pepper flakes.

Notes

How to make this into a freezer meal:

Add all ingredients EXCEPT CORNSTARCH to a gallon-sized freezer bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible and seal bag closed. Place freezer bag into freezer and it will last 60-90 days. When ready to use, spray inside of slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray and dump ingredients from bag into slow cooker. Place the lid on top. Cover and cook on LOW heat for 6-8 hours (or HIGH heat for 3-4 hours). Follow the rest of the instructions as written.
