Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons salted butter
1 teaspoon chopped fresh garlic
4 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon salt
ground black pepper to taste
4 tablespoons brown sugar
¾ cup water
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic and cook until slightly brown, about 2 minutes. Add chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 12 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Sprinkle brown sugar over chicken and cook until melted into the chicken, about 5 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate and keep warm.
  • Stir together water and cornstarch in a small bowl. Pour into the skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Cook and stir, picking up all the little bits from the pan, until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve over the chicken.

SLOW COOKER GARLIC AND BROWN SUGAR CHICKEN



Slow Cooker Garlic and Brown Sugar Chicken image

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

4-6 chicken breasts (or thighs would work great too!)
1 cup packed brown sugar
2/3 cup vinegar
1/4 cup lemon-lime soda
2-3 Tablespoons minced garlic
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
2 Tablespoons corn starch
2 Tablespoons water
Rice or noodles, cooked
Red pepper flakes (optional)

Steps:

  • Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Place chicken (I used frozen chicken, thawed chicken works great too) inside slow cooker. Mix together brown sugar, vinegar, soda, garlic, soy sauce, and pepper together. Pour over chicken. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4 hours. Take chicken pieces out of slow cooker (mine basically fell apart) and pour remaining sauce into saucepan. Place saucepan over high heat. Mix together corn starch and water, pour into saucepan, and mix well. Let sauce come to a boil and boil for 2-3 minutes, or until it starts to thicken and turns into a glaze. Remove from heat and let sit for a minute or two (it will continue to thicken as it cools down).
  • Serve chicken over rice or noodles and top with glaze. Sprinkle red pepper flakes on top if desired.

2 lbs boneless chicken, but into bite-sized pieces
1 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup soy sauce

  • If desired, you may also add chunks of pineapple, bell pepper, sliced carrots, onion -- .

Tips:

  • Use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts for a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Brown the chicken in a skillet before adding it to the crock pot to give it a crispy skin.
  • Add a variety of vegetables to the crock pot along with the chicken, such as carrots, potatoes, onions, and celery.

  • Add a splash of apple cider vinegar or white wine to the crock pot to help tenderize the chicken and add a bit of acidity.
  • Cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  • Serve the chicken over rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles.
