Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Mince the garlic cloves finely to release their aroma and flavor before adding them to the cooker.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Place the chicken breasts into the slow cooker. Pour the sweet chili sauce over the chicken and sprinkle the minced garlic evenly on top.
  3. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is very tender and easily shredded with a fork.
  4. Serve: Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker if desired, stirring it into the sauce, then serve hot over rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Notes

  • You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier dish.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic according to your taste preference.
  • Serve with steamed rice or a side of vegetables to make it a complete meal.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
