Equipment

1 7 Quart Slow Cooker

Ingredients

3 pounds Chicken breasts
½ cup Honey
½ cup Coconut aminos or gluten-free soy sauce
¼ cup Water
1 tablespoon Garlic minced
2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar

Instructions

Place the chicken breasts in a 5 quart (or larger) slow cooker.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together honey, coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, water, and minced garlic. Pour this mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
Cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is fork tender.
Use forks to shred the chicken, then serve it hot over rice.

Notes

The recipe results in a decent amount of sauce in the slow cooker. If you want a thicker sauce texture, whisk in 2 teaspoons of arrowroot powder to 3 tablespoons of sauce and pour it in about 30 minutes before you need it.

If you plan to use a bone-in chicken variation, you’ll want to extend the cook time.

If you don’t need this shredded chicken to be paleo-friendly, just use a gluten-free soy sauce.
