Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken

July 14, 2011 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I wish I knew where I got this recipe so I could give proper credit but I’ve had it in my email recipe file for ages.  I finally got around to trying it last night and it’s a keeper.  Slow cooker recipes are very helpful on hot summer days.  And it’s especially nice to not have to cook after being out of the home much of the day as I was yesterday. Here is the original recipe, along with my adaptations and comments:

Crock Pot Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken
Ingredients:
  • one large chicken cut into serving pieces (I used organic boneless chicken breasts.)
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup of vinegar (I used organic apple cider vinegar.)
  • 1/4 cup Sprite or 7-up (I made some lemon-lime soda in my soda maker.)
  • 2-3 tablespoons minced garlic (I used about a tablespoon of dried, sliced garlic.)
  • 2 tablespoons of soy sauce (I used organic Tamari sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon of pepper – black or cayenne (I used a combination.)

Method:

  • Place chicken in crockpot.
  • Mix all remaining ingredients and pour over chicken.
  • Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
  • Serve over rice or noodles. (I served over organic brown rice.)
  • You can thicken the juices after cooking with a little cornstarch. (I didn’t find this to be necessary.)

This smelled wonderful and tasted good, too!
