frozen chicken breasts

Ingredients

• 3–4 frozen chicken breasts
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 onion (sliced)
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp honey (or brown sugar)
• 1 tbsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp chili flakes (adjust heat)
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp dried oregano or thyme
• 2 tbsp olive oil or butter

Instructions

1. Layer smartly: Put onions and garlic at the bottom (this prevents burning and builds flavor).
2. Place frozen chicken breasts on top.
3. In a bowl, mix broth, tomato paste, soy sauce, honey, and all spices.
4. Pour the mixture over the chicken.
5. Drizzle olive oil/butter on top.

Cook

• Low: 6–7 hours (best texture)
• High: 3–4 hours

Finish (don’t skip this part)

• Shred the chicken in the pot.
• Let it sit in the sauce for 10–15 minutes so it soaks everything up.

 Make it hit harder (optional upgrades)

• Add a splash of lemon juice or vinegar at the end → brightens everything
• Stir in a little cream or yogurt → richer sauce
• Toss in bell peppers or mushrooms halfway through

How to serve

• Over rice
• Stuffed in wraps
• On toasted bread as a sandwich
• With mashed potatoes
