Creating Slow Cooker Honey Lemon Chicken is simple if you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
2. Mix the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and salt.
3. Pour Marinade: Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated.
4. Set the Cooker: Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours.
5. Check for Doneness: The chicken is ready when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and is tender.
6. Optional Thickening: If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with a little water and stir it into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
