Honey Ginger Chicken (Crock Pot)

If you’re looking for a mouthwatering recipe that’s both simple and satisfying, this Honey Ginger Chicken will become a favorite in your household. This recipe combines tender chicken breasts with a sweet and tangy honey ginger sauce, all made effortlessly in your crock pot. Perfect for a busy day, you can set it and forget it, letting the slow cooker do all the work while you get on with your day.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: Begin by melting the unsalted butter in a bowl. Once melted, add the honey, lemon juice, lime juice, and ground ginger. Mix everything together thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined and the sauce is smooth.

  2. Assemble in Crock Pot: Place the chicken breasts in the crock pot, ensuring they are evenly spaced. Pour the prepared honey ginger sauce over the chicken breasts, making sure each piece is generously coated.

  3. Cook to Perfection: Set your crock pot to cook on low for 6 hours. This slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld together beautifully and the chicken to become tender and juicy.

  4. Baste Occasionally: During the cooking time, periodically spoon some of the sauce over the chicken breasts to ensure they stay well-coated and flavorful. This helps in keeping the chicken moist and infuses it with the delicious sauce.

  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once the cooking time is complete, the chicken should be fork-tender and infused with the rich honey ginger flavor. Serve it over a bed of rice or alongside your favorite vegetables for a complete meal.
