Hi friends! It’s Kelly from Life Made Sweeter again, and I’m back today to share an easy crockpot meal that is full of tasty spices!

No need to order take-out when that craving hits. Simply toss everything into your slow cooker and let it do all the work for you!

We use our crockpot quite often around our house. It’s a lifesaver when you don’t have a lot of time and can help make meal time so much easier.

This Sriracha Chili Chicken starts off with some chicken breasts placed in the bottom of your crockpot. You simply whisk together the ingredients for the sauce and pour it over the chicken to simmer together for about 2 hours.

After it’s cooked, just shred or cut the chicken into cubes. Feel free to cut them up into bite-sized pieces beforehand. I like leaving them whole and shredding or cutting them afterwards since it helps seal in the juices and flavors.

We are obsessed with spicy foods in our house so the amount of chili I used was just right for us. Feel free to adjust the level of Sriracha and chili pepper according to your heat preference.

Serve chicken over some rice, quinoa, noodles or your favorite sides.

This easy Asian inspired dish is sure to warm you up on a chilly day. Plus how easy was that without having to call for delivery?? 🙂
