WHY MAKE THIS RECIPE

Easy – Just dump everything into the slow cooker, set it and go about your day. Dinner will be ready when you are. Pantry-Friendly – You probably have everything you need to make this right in your pantry.   Better Than Takeout – Save money but enjoy the same take-out favorites that you love.

INGREDIENT NOTES

Chicken – this recipe calls for boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 2-inch cubes, but you could also use chicken thighs instead. Salt & Pepper – a simple yet perfect seasoning for just about any dish. Sriracha Sauce – gives this dish a little kick heat and great flavor.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

Always check for doneness with a meat thermometer. The temperature should be 165F / 74C when inserted into the thickest part of chicken breasts.   Using larger pieces of chicken? You may need to adjust the cooking time.

VARIATIONS

Try Different Sriracha – Sriracha is available in several different flavors and styles. Experiment to find out which one you prefer. Tone Down The Heat – This dish is pretty spicy, so you can tone it down by reducing the sriracha to a half cup and increasing the soy sauce to two-thirds cup.

BUDGET FRIENDLY TIPS

Buy Chicken in Bulk – Purchase chicken in bulk packages or on sale and freeze for later use. Save yourself time later on by cubing the chicken before freezing. Plan for Leftovers – Make enough that you can enjoy leftovers later in the week or take them for an easy lunch.
