Slow Cooker Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken
Slow Cooker Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken is a consistent favorite in my meal planning rotation. It’s a little bit sweet, a little bit spicy, and all-around delicious. It’s a meal that both the kids and adults in our family love!
It’s also really easy to make in the slow cooker. You can simply put everything in, set it, and go about your day. When dinner time rolls around, you’ll have an amazing meal ready to go. Sounds good to me!
CAN I ADJUST THE SPICE LEVEL?
You definitely can! We love this recipe just as it is, but if you would like to kick up the spiciness a bit, a bit of crushed red pepper or sriracha would go well. Just be sure not to overdo it – a little goes a long way!
WHAT SHOULD I SERVE WITH SLOW COOKER BROWN SUGAR GARLIC CHICKEN?
I often serve this recipe with either brown or Jasmine rice and some steamed vegetables, but it would also be good with potato wedges and a salad. It’s a pretty flexible dish, so you have plenty of options!
WILL SLOW COOKER BROWN SUGAR GARLIC CHICKEN FREEZE WELL?
This is one of my favorite things about this dish (well, besides the amazing flavor)…it freezes so well! There are times that I make extra, just to have leftovers on hand. The leftovers can be warmed up and served as is, but they also make a wonderful addition to pasta, wraps, salads, and so many other meals. Feel free to get creative!

Happenings From Our Family of 9
Rollerblading on the dock is something that my kids find so fun. They go around and around till I get dizzy! They got the skates for Christmas last year and they have counted the number of times they have fallen. I think one of them said 24 times and 14 of those was on Christmas Day! I wish I had their energy and flexibility! As you can see dad is keeping a close eye on them. I think they were making him nervous!
