  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, low sodium soy sauce, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until fully combined.
  2. Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs in the slow cooker and pour the prepared honey garlic sauce evenly over the chicken.

Notes
