Slow Cooker General Tsao's Chicken

I usually have at least one or two recipes that don't turn out on my blog a week.  But with a busy life I don't have time to post them or rate them.  But we all have recipes that fail.  So I am going to try to post them when I can and I would love to hear feedback on how you would change the recipe.  And sorry that the picture is low quality.  I lack motivation to edit a picture on a recipe that didn't turn out.  But you can tell that it isn't what you expect in General Tsao's chicken.  It just looks bland.  Not saucy at all. Oh well.  I was able to dump out the sauce.  Shred the chicken.  Add BBQ sauce.  And have a delicious BBQ salad!

Review:  I am definately going to try to change some things around to try to have it taste better and more what I would expect.  Maybe try reducing the chicken broth to bring out some more of the other flavors.  What would you change:

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cups canned chicken broth
• 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tbsps white wine vinegar
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 2 medium scallions chopped
• 2 medium garlic cloves minced
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts

1. Spray slow cooker with non stick cooking spray.  Lay chicken breasts in bottom.

2. Combine in seperate bowl, chicken broth, soy sauce, sugar, white wine vinegar, ginger, garlic cloves and pepper flakes.

3. Pour over the chicken and cook for 4-6 hours in slow cooker on low.

4.  When finished, take chicken out of slow cooker and cut into chunks.  With the juice in the slow cooker, whisk in the cornstarch slowly to thicken the sauce.

5.  Return chicken to slow cooker and heat through.  

6.  Garnish with scallions and serve over white rice.

I really wish I had made this for dinner.  The sauce is so thick and the flavor is amazing!  It would have been just as easy to throw into the crockpot and tastes just like it is from a restaurant!
