  • Total Time: 4 hours 5 mins
  • Yield: 5 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 kg chicken breast, cubed
  • 30 g corn flour
  • 150 ml chicken stock
  • 1 tbsp rice wine
  • 1/2 lemon juiced and zested
  • 50 ml reduced salt soy sauce
  • 50 g honey
  • 10 g garlic cloves, pressed
  • 10 g ginger pressed
  • 1/2 tsp. chilli flakes
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • Sesame seeds and chopped spring onion for garnish

Instructions

Chuck your cubed chicken into the slow cooker like the boss you are.

Whisk together all the other ingredients (minus the garnish) in a jug.

Pour the saucy concoction over the chicken.

Pop the lid on, set it to low, and walk away for four hours. Yes, four hours. Resist the urge to peek!

Return to a pot of juicy chicken in a glossy lemon sauce.

I like to shred mine with a fork, but you could serve the chicken breasts whole. Serve with your carb of choice and sprinkle with sesame seeds and spring onion.
