Soy Balsamic Crock Pot Chicken
Ingredients
- 3-pounds bone-in chicken, combination of drumsticks and breasts
- 1 whole yellow onion, sliced into rings
- 1 8.0 ounce can sliced waterchestnuts
- ⅓ cup low sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 2 whole bay leaves
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced in small strips
- 5 cloves garlic, smashed
- 2 tbsp. peppercorns, cracked
- 1 tbsp. brown sugar
- 2 tbsp. cornstarch
- ⅓ cup chicken broth
- Rice, cooked per package directions, for serving
- Chives, cut into small slices, for serving
Instructions
- Place chicken and onion in crock pot; add waterchestnuts.
- Pour soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, bell pepper, garlic, and peppercorns into the crock pot; stir until chicken is entirely coated.
- Add brown sugar, cornstarch, and chicken broth; stir again.
- Cook on low for 5 to 6 hours.
- At end of cooking time, when chicken is cooked, break and shred chicken up a bit; a potato masher works really well for this.
