Description

This slow cooker sweet garlic chicken recipe is an easy, dump-and-go meal. Tender chicken slow cooks in a homemade sweet garlic sauce made with lemon-lime soda, soy sauce, fresh garlic, and brown sugar. It’s a kid-friendly dish perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/2 cup lemon-lime soda (7-up or Sprite)
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • Cooked white rice, sliced green onions, sesame seeds for serving

Instructions

  1. Lay the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar, rice vinegar, lemon-lime soda, soy sauce, garlic, and black pepper.
  3. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
  4. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours.
  5. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth.
  7. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the slow cooker. Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
  8. Serve the sweet garlic chicken over cooked white rice, drizzle with extra sauce, and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • The calorie count is for one serving of chicken and sauce, and does not include rice.
  • For a quicker shred, you can use a handheld blender directly in the slow cooker, but be careful not to over-process.
  • Regular sugar lemon-lime soda is preferred for taste, but diet or zero sugar versions can be used.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
  • Reheat leftovers in the microwave or on the stovetop.
