Have you ever had the Bourbon Chicken in mall food courts? This SO reminds me of food court Bourbon Chicken!! It is DIVINE and so incredibly easy! The picture shows it served over quinoa which would no doubt be delicious...but my family is slightly obsessed with black rice right now so that's what I serve this dish over. You could substitute white rice, brown rice, black rice, quinoa...whatever you like!
3 large frozen chicken breasts
1/2 cup soy sauce (light or low sodium is fine too)
3/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tsp. onion powder
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 cup sesame seeds (optional)
1 cup cooked quinoa, rice, etc...
Place frozen chicken breasts in a 3-quart crock pot. Combine soy sauce, honey, olive oil, onion powder, garlic, salt, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk until combined. Pour sauce over frozen chicken breasts. Cook on Low for 4-6 hours. When it's done, use 2 forks to shred the chicken. Serve the chicken over quinoa or rice and top with sesame seeds and additional sauce.
*Note: I buy frozen green beans from Costco and make that a side for this. Heat a couple tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet. Add a teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes to the hot oil. Add as many green beans as your family will eat. Take some of the sauce from the chicken (because there's plenty of leftover sauce) and add a generous amount to the green bean skillet. Saute until all the water is evaporated and you're left with a sticky sauce coating the green beans. SO YUMMY!!!!
