Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Sauce

  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 3/4 cup sweet chili sauce (natural)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (natural)

Vegetables and Garnishes

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 2 teaspoons natural gelling agent
  • 3 green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prep the Chicken and Sauce: Trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs and place them in the slow cooker. In a bowl, whisk together sweet chili sauce (natural), minced garlic, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar (natural) until smooth. Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
  2. Add Vegetables and Cook: Arrange sliced red bell pepper strips around the chicken in the slow cooker. Sprinkle the natural gelling agent over the top to help thicken the sauce during cooking. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours until the chicken is tender and juicy.
  3. Finish with Fresh Garnishes: Once cooking is complete, gently stir to combine the sauce and vegetables. Sprinkle chopped green onions on top for a fresh and zesty finish just before serving.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs for juicier, tender meat during slow cooking.
  • Marinate chicken in the sauce for 30 minutes before cooking to deepen the flavor.
  • If sauce is too thin, stir in a bit more natural gelling agent near the end of cooking.
  • Always finish with fresh herbs or green onions to add brightness.
  • Cook low and slow for best flavor and tenderness.
