SLOW COOKER HONEY SOY CHICKEN

I have been on a Slow Cooker kick lately – I just can’t get over the splendor of throwing ingredients into my slow cooker to simmer, soak and slurp up flavor and fill the house with tempting aromas all while I go about my day.  From my Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken to my Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches, to this Honey Soy Chicken, I think I could live off of slow cooker meals for the rest of my life and be in complete multidimensional layered flavor heaven.

• 2½ pound chicken breasts, thawed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Honey Soy Sauce

• 1 teaspoons garlic powder (or 3-4 garlic cloves, minced)
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon ginger powder (or 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger)
