Shredded Slow Cooker Honey Chicken

 Lauren Dillard (Mississippi) says:
Delicious! I was a little pressed for time, so I boiled chicken in sauce until cooked (about 15 min), shredded, & let simmer for another 20 min. Cut egg roll wrappers diagonally & fried in hot oil for empenadas with an asian flair. So good. Thanks for the recipe!

This was a great recipe! Took very little prep and cook time. I substituted maple syrup for about half the honey and it gave the chicken and sauce a nice dark auburn color.

Great recipe!!! Very, very easy. Wish I had known I could substitute maple syrup though. Honey is kind of expensive when you have to use so much of it.

 Rebekah (Texas) says:
Very good! I used half honey and half maple syrup. I used 5 bonless, skinless chicken breasts. I could have probably cooked about 8 and had plenty of fluid. If you are cooking 4 chicken breasts I would probably half the recipe because there is a ton of liquid left over and honey is expensive.

This was good but it was hard to get use to the smell. The smell while it was cooking was a little odd to me. But the taste was really good. If you are gonna make a sandwich I recommended you toast the bread. Overall a nice meal :)

Very yummy recipe. It does leave a lot of liquid, so you may want to half the sauce mix. Me, I kept it all and thickened it with a bit of corn starch before shredding the meat into it.

This is a good recipe we just make a couple small changes. We added two cans sliced water chestnuts and where there is 10 minutes of cook time left, I add two cans of drained mandarin oranges to give it a little more of an orange honey chicken flavor.

 Jayne Somogy (Georgia) says:
Really good, but I can't believe no one commented how exceedingly hot this recipe is, using 1-1/4 tsp. of black pepper--I nearly died! Next time I will limit it to 1/4 tsp. & it will be perfect. I used half honey, half maple syrup & substituted teriyaki sauce for soy sauce, then added cooked noodles at end so they marinated in the sauce. Yummy!

 Erica (Massachusetts) says:
Wow. And all I went looking for was to know if defrosting in the crock pot was OK and got a surprisingly great find!

 Caitlin (South Carolina) says:
I love this recipe. It is so easy and tastes great. I recommend cutting back on the honey, especially if using low sodium soy sauce, otherwise it is very sweet. I cut back to 1 cup honey and added an extra 1/2 clove of garlic. Yummy!
