Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. Mix the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.
  3. Coat the Chicken: Pour the honey garlic mixture over the chicken breasts, making sure each piece is evenly coated.
  4. Add the Vegetables: Now, add the chopped bell pepper, broccoli florets, sliced carrots, and snap peas into the slow cooker.
  5. Season to Taste: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the chicken and veggies to taste.
  6. Set the Slow Cooker: Cover and set it on low heat for 6 to 8 hours.
  7. Thicken the Sauce (Optional): About 30 minutes before the end of cooking, mix cornstarch with a bit of water to create a slurry.
  8. Shred and Serve: Once cooked, carefully shred the chicken with two forks in the slow cooker and mix it with the veggies and sauce.
