Crockpot Honey Sriracha Chicken


I love the crockpot for convenience but don't love what it does to chicken. Well, correction, I like bone-in chicken in the crockpot, but I feel like it kills breasts. Since I'm home on maternity leave/summer break I decided to try making it but keeping it to the lower end of the time range. That definitely helped. This chicken was tasty. It was flavorful and spicy, and the sauce that was drizzled over it sealed the deal. The sauce was creamy and cool which was a nice contrast to the heat of the chicken. I loved it over the simple rice... such an easy but tasty dinner!

Ingredients:
1 to 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts

Fresh chopped cilantro (optional)

  1. This is so simple, I like it. Cook pork chops with this, definitely good. Pork absorbs the sauce and become tender after long hours cooking. :)
