Slow Cooker Garlic and Brown Sugar Chicken

 First of all this should be named Brown Sugar and Garlic Chicken! The words brown sugar should come first. It had so much in it. While it tasted good, I would not make this again unless I reduced the amount of sugar in it. It was too sweet and had too many Weight Watchers points.

 We served it with rice and the kids loved it. It cooked all day and was easy.

 Make the sauce when it is done on the stove and pour it over and serve.

Here is the recipe:

4 to 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 cup packed brown sugar

2/3 cup vinegar

1/4 cup lemon lime soda

2 to 3 Table minced garlic

2 Table soy sauce

1 tea black pepper

2 Table cornstarch

2 Table water

4 cups cooked rice or noodles

1. Spray slow cooker with Pam. 
2.  Place chicken in slow cooker.  
3. Mix together all but the cornstarch and the water.  
4. Pour over the chicken. 
5.  Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 4 hours. 
6.  Take chicken out of sauce and put sauce in pan on stove.  
7. Mix cornstarch and water and add to sauce stirring until it comes to a boil.  
8. Cook 2 to 3 minutes until it thickens and becomes a glaze. 
9.  Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes.  
10. Meanwhile shred chicken and place in dish and pour glaze over it.
