Spicy Honey Terriyaki Chicken

Our church time changed to 11 o'clock this year. I love it because I no longer have little kids at home where this time ruins their nap times. The best part is that I get to SLEEP IN! I LOVE this! With the long shifts I work plus working two jobs and going to school it never feels like I get enough sleep. However, this time also means we miss lunch and everyone comes home from church hungry. This is a meal I can throw in the crock pot in the morning and have ready to eat when we get home. It's a life saver to be able to do this - there is nothing more whiny than a bunch of hungry boys!

 

Spicy Honey Terriyaki Chicken 

1 medium onion, sliced thin

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast

2 Tbsp. garlic paste

1/4 c. soy sauce

1/4 c. honey

1 c. chicken broth

1 tsp. crushed red pepper

1 tsp. black pepper

3 Tbsp. corn starch

3 Tbsp. water

Put the chicken, garlic, and ginger in a large crock pot and cover with onions. Pour the soy sauce, honey, and chicken broth over the chicken. Sprinkle with the red and black pepper. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 5 hours or until the chicken is cooked through. In a small bowl, stir the corn starch and water together. Pour in the crock pot with the chicken and stir, shredding chicken into large pieces. Cover and cook for 30 minutes on high or until the mixture is thickened. Serve over rice or noodles.
