This Slow Cooker Sweet Chili Chicken has a sweet and tangy flavor that your family will love! Dust off your crockpot and get cooking!
Ingredients
For the Glaze:
- 1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (you can substitute breasts if you prefer)
- ¾ cup sweet chili sauce (I love this brand)
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ cup soy sauce
For the thickened glaze:
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
For the garnish:
- 1 handful, snipped cilantro
Instructions
- In the bottom of a large slow cooker, combine sweet chili sauce, chicken broth, salt, pepper, and soy sauce. Whisk together. Add in chicken thighs on top of glaze, and spoon some of the glaze over the top of the chicken.
- Cover and cook on low for 6 hours (do not open the lid while cooking, you want to maintain the moisture inside!)
- To thicken the sauce (optional), remove the chicken and cut into bite sized pieces. Before returning chicken to the crockpot, thicken the sauce by whisking the broth and cornstarch together in a small glass. Pour into the glaze and stir. Add cooked chicken, cover and allow to cook about 20-30 minutes more (perfect amount of time to make some cilantro lime rice)!
- To serve, add the snipped cilantro over the top, stir, and enjoy!
