Slow Cooker Mongolian Chicken
Slow Cooker Mongolian Chicken. Slow cooked chicken and broccoli cooked in a sweet and tangy Mongolian inspired sauce.
If you are a fan of my Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken then you will love this recipe! It takes less than 10 minutes of prep time to throw everything together. Simply mix up all of the sauce ingredients and add to the slow cooker along with chicken thighs and broccoli.
I made this recipe in my favorite crockpot. It’s perfect for meals that take a few hours in the slow cooker. After it’s done cooking it switches to warm and stays hot until you are ready to eat.
How to make Slow Cooker Mongolian Chicken
Add chicken to the slow cooker along with the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, hoisin sauce, ginger, garlic and Sriracha. Cook on low for 2-3 hours. When the chicken is done remove the chicken from the liquid and place on a plate or cutting board. Allow the chicken to rest for a couple of minutes and then shred with two forks or slice it up with a knife. Transfer the liquid from the slow cooker to a small saucepan. Whisk 2 tablespoons of water with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Slowly add the cornstarch mixture to the sauce. Cook on high until bubbly and thickened, whisking constantly. Pour the sauce back in the slow cooker along with the shredded chicken and broccoli, toss to coat. Cook for an additional 30 minutes or until broccoli is tender. Serve immediately with sesame seeds for garnish, if desired.
The chicken turns out incredibly juicy and tender by cooking it on low for 2-3 hours. The sauce is the perfect mix of sweet from the hoisin and tangy from the soy sauce. It’s also loaded with tons of garlic and fresh ginger. I also add in sesame oil and rice wine vinegar.
