Description
A delicious and easy slow cooker Asian chicken dish, perfect for weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 cups cut up broccoli florets
- sesame seeds, for garnish
- 3/4 cup sugar-free apricot preserves
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Chili Garlic Sauce (more or less to taste)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ginger puree from a jar
- 3 tablespoons Tamarind Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Golden Monkfruit Sweetener
Instructions
- Trim fat and any undesirable parts from the chicken breasts and cut into largish bite-sized pieces.
- Spray slow cooker with non-stick spray and put the chicken into the slow cooker.
- Whisk together the Sugar-Free Apricot Preserves, soy sauce, sesame oil, Chili Garlic Sauce, garlic powder, ginger puree, Tamarind Sauce, and Golden Monkfruit Sweetener.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken and stir so all the chicken pieces are coated with sauce.
- Cook on HIGH for about 2 1/2 hours or until the chicken is done.
- Drain chicken in a colander, catching the sauce.
- Put the chicken back into the slow cooker and turn to low to keep it warm.
- Simmer the sauce over low heat until it’s as reduced and thickened as you’d like, about 20 minutes.
- Pour thickened sauce back into the slow cooker and VERY GENTLY stir so the chicken is coated with the sauce.
- When the sauce is nearly thickened, steam or microwave the broccoli until it’s as crisp as you prefer.
- Divide the broccoli among bowls and top each with some of the chicken and sauce.
- Serve Slow Cooker Asian Chicken hot, garnished with sesame seeds.
Notes
- For enhanced flavor, consider adding more ginger or garlic.
- Adjust the Chili Garlic Sauce based on your heat preference.
- You can use other sweeteners if Golden Monkfruit Sweetener is not available.
- Leftover sauce can be saved for another dish or used as a dipping sauce.
