Provided by á-25138

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 to 6 chicken breasts
1 cup packed brown sugar
2/3 cup vinegar or apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup lemon-lime soda (I used Sprite)
2 to 3 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
2 tablespoons corn starch
2 tablespoons water
Red pepper flakes (optional)

  • Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Place chicken (frozen, thawed or fresh) inside slow cooker. Mix together brown sugar, vinegar, soda, garlic, soy sauce, and pepper together. Pour over chicken. Cook on low for 6 to 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.

This can be served over rice or noodles, but we had ours with a baked potato on the side (It's good on top of the potato too!)

Tips for Making Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken:

- Choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for a quick and easy meal. - Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the chicken in a single layer. This will help ensure that the chicken cooks evenly. - Combine the garlic, brown sugar, and soy sauce in a small bowl before adding it to the chicken. This will help the flavors to blend together. - Cook the chicken over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes per side, or until cooked through. - Serve the chicken with rice, vegetables, or your favorite side dish.

Conclusion:

Garlic brown sugar chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. The combination of garlic, brown sugar, and soy sauce creates a flavorful and slightly sweet sauce that coats the chicken perfectly. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
