This Glazed Crock pot Chicken is slightly sweet with a bit of a spicy kick. The sauce is perfect over rice!
As every totally frazzled mom knows, hectic weeks are perfect for crock pot meals. Just throw a few things together and in a few hours you have an awesome meal ready. Gotta love that!
This chicken actually came together because I was trying to make a recipe for honey glazed chicken but realized I was short on honey. So I just threw a bunch of stuff together and hoped it would be good. Thankfully it was. Really good actually. My family loved it. The red pepper flakes add a nice contrast to the sweetness of the sauce. If you like things spicy, feel free to add more.
Here’s hoping that you can make this recipe because you feel like it, and not because you’re having a stressful, wish you lived on a deserted island kind of week. 😉

Made a dish last night that was nearly identical to this one. My son, who is a fairly picky eater, said “it’s a do-over!” I accidentally threw away my recipe and couldn’t find it online … but this one is the closest I’ve found! Thank you so much for providing it! Tip: cut up the chicken into “chunks” after cooking then recombine with the sauce. The cut up pieces soak up the sauce nicely! This is an easy meal for us on-the-go families.
Found this recipe on pinterest! Its been cooking in the crock pot all day and is making the house smell really good! Can’t wait to eat it!
Sure hope you enjoyed it!
I made this last night for my family and they loved it. My picky 9 year old who eats like a bird even when she likes the food, ate two whole chicken breasts! My husband said he loved it and if I made it a bit spicier it would taste like it came from his favorite oriental restaurant. I’m sure I will be making it again real soon and I’ll have to share it on my blog and link back next time. I would have done it this time but I was already eating the sauce with a spoon before I even had dinner made, and just couldn’t be bothered to take photos of it before I got to eat. 🙂
Oh yay, I am so glad to hear it! I’m always happy when I win over a picky eater! 🙂
I always feel better when I am not alone in my million plus one undone things in the house. I actually had amazing inspiration this week (actually two days) and was able to finish some of those projects, much like yours. The chicken looks amazing and think I will try it when I return home. Thanks for sharing.
