  • 2lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs (cut into 1” chunks)
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Add flour and pepper to a large sealable food storage bag or sealable container. Shake to coat the chicken with the flour mixture. Heat canola oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and brown for 2 minutes of each side. Remove from the pan and place the chicken into the slow cooker.
  2. In a small bowl combine soy sauce, ketchup, sugar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Mix well. Pour the sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker.
