Ingredients Slow Cooker Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken, individually labelled on a white background

Chicken breast - For this recipe, I used chicken breast. But chicken breast fillets or thighs are, of course, also possible.
Garlic and onion - Flavoring the chicken and sauce.
Brown sugar - To sweeten the sauce. Brown sugar is also used because it gives a caramelized flavor to the sauce.
Chicken stock - To give the sauce the right thickness and great taste. The most delicious is homemade chicken stock, but use a cube if you don't have it.
Thyme and parsley - These fresh herbs flavor the sauce
Cornstarch - Thickens the sauce and gives it a glaze feeling. Before adding, dissolve the cornflour in water. That way, you won't get lumps.
