Chinese Style Chicken
This Chinese style chicken recipe is simple and delicious, and kid friendly.
Serving: 4
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
Sauce
- 1/4 cup Hoisin sauce
- 1/4 cup Sweet Chilli sauce
- 1/4 cup Soy sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 5-6 drops of Sesame oil
- 4 cloves of crushed garlic
Instructions
- Mix all sauce ingredients together in a jug or bowl to combine.
- Place whole chicken breasts in a single layer in your slowcooker.
- Pour sauce over the chicken.
- Cook on low for 4 hours.
- Once cooked, slice the chicken to serve, and pour over as much or as little sauce you like.
- You could serve it on a bed of any type of rice or noodles you prefer, and any salad or veg you like.
- Please note....as every slow cooker cooks differently, you may find you need to adjust cook time. I used my Breville 7 litre slow cooker , which seems to cook quite hot, for only 2hrs cook time
- Hope you enjoy!

Tried this for dinner last night it was awesome will definitely be on the menus again
Such a brilliantly simple, yet absolutely delicious meal ?? Thanks so much for sharing this with us Di ? It will definitely stay on rotation in our family fave meals for sure! I served ours with the fried rice 2 recipe on the site and left the breast fillets whole. So, so yummy ?????
Sweet soy or regular soy, please
I would assume it’s regular if it’s not specified as Kecap Manis sweet soy but I’ll ask Di to be sure 🙂
Thanks Di best ever made it twice now and throughly enjoyed. Tasty easy my kind of recipe
Amazing I also added some frozen veggies to it… been request again already by my fussy Dad
so far has been on the menus twice and loved each time, once as slices and once as pulled chicken, teen even takes the leftovers for lunches
Verdict of my dinner last night: What an easy weekend dinner for the family ??
They only took around 2.5hrs on low in my 7L Breville
So easy to serve with some oriental rice ?
The kids all enjoyed it too ??
Thanks Di for your easy recipe ?
????????????
Yum, Loved this! I halved all the ingredients as it was only for 2 adults, and cooked for 3 hours in my 3.5L Russell Hobbs. I served it with a green salad and found the sauce worked really nice on the salad too. My daughter wasn’t a fan because she found it too spicy but she won’t eat anything with even a slight amount of spice. I myself don’t like spicy foods and didn’t really find it too spicy at all. Will definitely be making this again..
Super simple to make and tasted great. Will definitely make this again
I realized this is Rather old now but do you think it would work without of the sweet chili sauce? Is there something to replace it? I really don’t like sweet chilli sauce.
This was so tasty & very easy to make. We had it for one of our Chinese New Year meals & I’ll be making again.
This is so easy and yum. Made last night with the following amendments:
1. 1.5kg of chicken thigh fillets
2. Did not increase sauce
3. Left out water
4. Cooked for 5 hrs on low
5. In last half hour threw in a full pkt of dry pad Thai rice noodles
The noodles soaked up the liquid perfectly so the flavour wasn’t lost. Made 8 serves. Will definitely cook again.
Really wasnt a fan of this recipe, I soo wanted to love it as the reviews looked amazing. I followed the recipe exactly and just wasnt that great, Chicken was very moist but tasted a bit to salty and the flavour wasn’t amazing. Very simple and cheap recipe and easy to make just wasnt a hit for us and our taste
I made this on Sunday and it was delicious. I did exactly as the recipe said, now I have heaps of leftovers for lunches and another dinner.
Definitely on the keep doing list ?
Delicious ?
Make it exactly to the recipe. There is just hubby and I, so heaps of leftovers ?
Which we will have for lunches and another dinner and salad.
Mine wasn’t quite as orange coloured as the photo, but that’s ok it was delicious ?
Full of flavour, tender chicken.
Will be ac reguar meal on rotation.
Thank you Di Rowlands for sharing your lovely recipe, it was a hit.
Served with fried rice with water chestnuts in it.
Winner winner chicken dinner ????????
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave feedback 🙂
“We will have to have this again..!” was one comment about this meal.
Great feed and it looks like this will be on the to do list again as well.
Great flavours and texture.
Juice went well over the Salad too.
This chicken is so easy to prepare and so delicious lunch tasty and moist! It has become a regular way to prepare chicken for easy, tasty meals.
That’s awesome – thanks Helen 🙂
Cooked this receipe a few nights ago and it was a huge hit for this family of 6 with some fussy eaters.
We stir fried some veggies, and cooked noodles to complete the dish.
Prep time was literally 10mins for everything.
I’ve just put it on again for tonight’s dinner.
Will become a family favourite especially on those nights we need something quick and easy.
Thanks so much for leaving your great feedback Danielle! 🙂
Well WOW. Who needs to go to a Chinese Restaurant !! This was so delicious. I added some sliced carrot & green beans. I would probably use chicken thigh next time, because the breasts were slightly dry even after 1 hour.
I also added a few dim sims to the juice. Mmm. Served it on rice. 🫶🏼
Thank you for this fabulous recipe. It hardly gets better than this.
That’s an OUTSTANDING review!! Thanks Margaret 🙂

Thanks for sharing your great 5-star feedback Beve! 🙂
Another great recipe on regular rotation in our house. So nice and makes plenty of leftovers for salads or sandwiches. I also add half a teaspoon of Chinese 5 spice powder into the mix.
Great to hear! Thanks for taking the time to leave your lovely feedback Michelle 🙂
