Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice, rinsed
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and black pepper until smooth.
  • Pour the honey mixture over the chicken, then add the chicken broth and rinsed rice.
  • Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours, until the chicken is tender and the rice has absorbed most of the liquid.
  • Remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, and return it to the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine everything.
  • Spoon the mixture into bowls and top with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

Rinse the rice well before adding it so the finished dish stays fluffy instead of gummy. If the rice looks dry near the end of cooking, stir in a splash of warm broth. Leftovers reheat nicely with a little extra broth to loosen the texture.
