Prep Time

This Crock Pot Mango Chicken recipe can be prepped in just 10 minutes. All you need to do is gather and prepare the ingredients, and then combine them in the slow cooker.

Cook Time

Once the ingredients are combined in the slow cooker, the cooking time is 5-6 hours on the low setting or 3-4 hours on the high setting. The cooking time may need to be adjusted depending on the size and type of chicken used.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup mango puree
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the mango puree, honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Pour the mixture into the slow cooker.
  3. Add the chicken to the slow cooker and stir to coat. Cover and cook on the low setting for 5-6 hours or the high setting for 3-4 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  4. Transfer the chicken to a plate and shred it with two forks. Return the chicken to the slow cooker and stir to combine. Serve over rice, pasta, or a side of vegetables.

  • Small bowl
  • Slow cooker
