- I like to serve over Jasmin rice!
I want to reduce this recipe to 2 servings (1 large chicken breast, etc.). Do I still cook it for 6 hours on low?
Also, what can I sub for the hoisin sauce or should I just leave it out? Thank you.
Don’t know what happened to my comment. Guess it was saved or something. Anyway I have two questions. 1. What can I use in place of hoisin sauce in the honey garlic chicken? 2. If I want to make 1/2 the recipe (2 servings instead of 4), should I still cook on low for 6 hours in my 6 quart slow cooker? Thank you.
I made this recipe tonight there was so much flavors it was so good it’s a keeper I added broccoli and I didn’t have jasmine rice so brown rice was what I had to use
This was delicious! We topped with sesame seeds and green onion, my husband took leftovers next day for lunch too it made a ton! We are loving all your recipes 🙂
My family absolutely loves this recipe! They ask me to make it every week. I used frozen chicken breasts instead (thawed). Since they are smaller than the fresh, I used 4. It was the best option since I can keep the ingredients on hand and make it on a day when I’m not as busy.
