I have to be honest; I do not remember who gave me this recipe. I am sorry, I cannot give the credit it is due. I have added to this recipe, to make a satisfying one-pot meal. With all my chicken in the crock-pot recipes, I add the meat in frozen. It is a crock-pot and most of us will throw everything in the pot while running out the door for work.
This is a great for wrangling a Chinese food craving. I served this in a bowl with each person getting a half-cup of steamed white rice and one cup of chicken mixture. The recipe states it serves six, I was able to get five servings with my measurements.
Ingredients:
6 small boneless skinless chicken breast
1 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (can reduce, if you do not like spicy food)
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ packed brown sugar
1 cup low sodium soy sauce
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup cornstarch
½ cup water
1 bag frozen stir fry vegetables (style your choice, I used frozen sugar pea pods)
Directions:
Place chicken in crock-pot, sprinkle with pepper.
Mix all ingredients, except the last three. Pour over chicken.
Cover and cook on low for 7-9 hours or 3-4 hours on high.
Remove chicken
Mix cornstarch and water together and add to sauce mixture, add frozen vegetables. Cook on high until sauce is thickened. Shred chicken and return to pot and mix well.
Serve over steamed rice.
