How to Make Crockpot Sweet Chili Chicken
  1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by placing the chicken breast in your crockpot. This will be the base of your delicious meal, ensuring that it stays juicy and tender.
  2. Mix the Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, and sesame oil. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and the flavors meld together beautifully.
  3. Pour the Sauce: Gently pour the sauce over the chicken in the crockpot, ensuring every piece is coated in that delightful blend of flavors.
  4. Add the Veggies: Add the chopped bell pepper and sliced onion on top of the chicken. These veggies will soften and infuse their sweetness into the dish as it cooks.
  5. Cook it Right: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The goal is to have everything beautifully tender and bursting with flavor.
  6. Shred the Chicken: Once it's cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot. Stir it into the sauce to soak up all those incredible flavors.
  7. Garnish to Serve: Sprinkle with chopped green onions for a fresh, flavorful finish.
