🧂 Ingredients You’ll Need

🍯 1/2 cup honey
🥢 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
🫒 2 tablespoons olive oil
🧄 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
🫚 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
🌽 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
💧 2 tablespoons water (if using cornstarch)
🧂 Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

👩🍳 Let’s Get Cooking!
1️⃣ Prep the Chicken:
Pat your chicken tenderloins dry with paper towels. Lightly season both sides with salt and pepper. 🧂
2️⃣ Mix the Sauce:
In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, and ginger — this sweet and savory blend is pure gold! ✨🥣
3️⃣ Combine & Cook:
Place chicken tenderloins in your slow cooker. Pour the sauce evenly over the top. 🍯🐔
4️⃣ Low and Slow:
Cover and cook on LOW for 3–4 hours (or until chicken is tender and juicy). Your kitchen will smell amazing! 😍
5️⃣ Thicken (Optional):
If you like a richer glaze, remove the chicken and whisk together cornstarch + water. Stir into the sauce, switch to HIGH, and cook 15–20 minutes until thickened. 🍯💫
6️⃣ Serve & Enjoy:
Return the chicken to coat it in that glossy honey-garlic sauce. Serve over rice 🍚, with steamed veggies 🥦, or mashed potatoes 🥔.
Garnish with sesame seeds + green onions for the final touch! 🌿✨
