Introduction
adapted from Slender Kitchen adapted from Slender KitchenNumber of Servings: 5
Ingredients
-
900 grams Chicken Thigh
.33 cup Soy sauce (shoyu), low sodium
.25 cup, unpacked Brown Sugar
1 tbsp Asian Chili Paste (by REFERENCE)
2 tsp Garlic
1 tsp Ginger Root
2 head (5" dia) Bib Lettuce
2.5 serving Wendy's Crispy Rice Noodles
Directions
Stir together the soy sauce, brown sugar, chili garlic paste, garlic, and ginger in the bottom of the slow cooker. Add the chicken and stir to coat the chicken completely.
Cook on low for 4 hours or until chicken is fully cooked. Shred using two forks.
Optional but highly recommended: Add the liquid from the slow cooker into a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil and boil for 8-10 minutes until it reduces by half and thickens. Toss chicken in this sauce or drizzle on top.
Note:
It's perfect for lettuce wraps, bowls with cauliflower rice and veggies, or quesadillas with some broccoli and cheese. The Asian garlic chili paste adds tons of flavor and isn't as spicy as you would expect. However if you are worried about the spice level, start with half and just add more after cooking if you want it spicier. Also I like a mix of chicken breast and chicken thighs, but you could just use one or the other as well.
