Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.25 cup honey
• 0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 0.25 cup ketchup
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 cup chopped onion
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Lightly grease your crock pot with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts evenly at the bottom of the crock pot.

Step 3

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, ketchup, minced garlic, dried basil, olive oil, onion, and black pepper. Stir well to create the sauce.

Step 4

Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated.

Step 5

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW setting for 4 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the crock pot and set aside on a plate.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.

Step 8

Add the cornstarch slurry to the remaining sauce in the crock pot and stir until thickened (this should take 5-10 minutes on the HIGH setting).

Step 9

Return the chicken to the crock pot and coat with the thickened sauce.

Step 10

Serve the chicken warm, garnished with chopped green onions. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
