Slow Cooker Mongolian Chicken is an incredible recipe for dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs or breasts and place them in the slow cooker.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, minced ginger, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  3. Pour the sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker, ensuring that all pieces are well-coated.
  4. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  5. About 30 minutes before serving, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Stir this into the slow cooker to thicken the sauce.
  6. Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks, allowing it to absorb the sauce.
  7. Stir everything together in the slow cooker to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce.
  8. Serve the chicken hot, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
