Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 4 medium skinless, boneless chicken breasts

  • 2 medium skinless, boneless chicken thighs

  • ¼ cup reduced-sodium tamari or low-sodium soy sauce

  • ¼ cup honey

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root

  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons tapioca flour (starch)

  • 2 tablespoons water

Directions

  1. Combine chicken pieces, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and rice vinegar in a slow cooker.

  2. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the centers, on Low, 6 to 8 hours, or High for 4 to 6 hours. Remove chicken to a cutting board and shred using 2 forks.

  3. Pour liquid from the slow cooker into a small saucepan and heat over low heat. Mix tapioca flour and water in a small bowl to create a slurry and add to the liquid. Simmer until sauce has thickened to desired consistency, 3 to 5 minutes.

  4. Pour sauce over pulled chicken and mix well.
