Ingredients
| 1.5 - 2 pounds | 680–905 g | chicken breasts |
| 1/2 cup | 120 ml | soy sauce (low-sodium) |
| 1/2 cup | 120 ml | honey |
| 1 TB | olive oil | |

| — | Sliced green onions, optional | |
| — | Sesame seeds, optional | |
| — | Cooked quinoa or rice, for serving |
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in a crock pot. Combine the soy sauce, honey, olive oil, onion powder, garlic, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Stir until combined. Pour the sauce over the chicken. Cook on low for 3-4 hours, or until the chicken easily falls apart.
- Serve the chicken over cooked quinoa. Add extra sauce and top with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Enjoy! If you like lots of sauce, feel free to double the recipe. We love to serve this honey soy chicken over rice or quinoa, but it also tastes great in lettuce wraps or over a salad. Sometimes with the leftover chicken we'll even make tacos or nachos. The possibilities are endless.
