Slow Cooker Garlic & Brown Sugar Chicken

                                           



     Ingredients 


4-6 chicken breasts (or thighs would work too)
1 cup packed brown sugar
2/3 cup vinegar
1/4 cup lemon-lime soda
2-3 tbsp. minced garlic
2 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. fresh ground pepper
2 tbsp. corn starch
2 tbsp. water
rice or noodles, cooked
red pepper flakes (optional)




Directions


1) Spray slow cooker with non stick cooking spray. 

2) Place chicken (I used frozen chicken, thawed chicken works great too) inside slow cooker. 

3) Mix together brown sugar, vinegar, soda, garlic, soy sauce and pepper together. Pour over chicken. 

4) Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4 hours. 

5) Take chicken pieces out of slow cooker (mine basically fell apart) and pour remaining sauce into saucepan. Place saucepan over high heat. 

6) 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 to glaze. 

7) Remove from heat and let sit for a minute or two (it will continue to thicken as it cools down).

8) Serve chicken over rice or noodles and top with glaze. Sprinkle red pepper flakes on top if desired.
