Disclosure: I was given a product to review. My new love for my Ninja Slow Cooker is 100% my own!
Honey Garlic Chicken Recipe made in my Ninja Slow Cooker
I just tried my brand new Ninja Slow Cooker and I am blown away because I thought it was only a slow cooker before I tried it myself. Look at this beautiful Honey Garlic Chicken recipe I just made. My family loved it! It was so easy to make too. The chicken was the most tender chicken I have ever tried.
There aren’t many recipes out yet for the new Ninja Slow Cooker so I had to try to adapt recipes to make it work. Luckily I can tell you what works and what doesn’t before you try it. I found a recipe for Honey-Garlic Chicken wings on the Food Network website so this is where I started. I’m not a big fan of chicken wings to I used chicken breasts instead. I also added some jam because I love the sweet and spicy taste mixed together. I’m not a big fan of real spicy foods so this is a perfect combo to bring out the best taste possible. It’s completely kid friendly too. If you like the heat, just add more red pepper flakes. I learned about the sweet and spicy combo when I read this Lil Smokies recipe over at MoneySavingAmanda.com. It works well in this chicken recipe too!
This Ninja 3 in 1 slow cooker can do so many more recipes than I even imagined. You can make cakes, one pot dishes or even sear steaks with it! It has a many different options on it. You can use it just like an oven. It has a built in stove top option that has a low, medium and high setting. It’s a slow cooker as you can tell by this recipe but it’s better than a regular slow cooker because it will switch off and over to a keep warm auto setting. But the best part is, it’s super easy to clean because it has a professional non-stick pot! Basically you just rinse it with soap and water. I love that part! Stay tuned for many more recipes too! I saw a recipe where you can make cupcakes with half the fat in them and use the Ninja slow cooker to steam them. I haven’t tried it yet but it’s soon to come! Next recipe will be meatloaf though first. I already have my hamburger thawing.

I have had my Ninja about two weeks. I love it’s versatility. Baked a whole chicken last night… so moist! I hope you will continue to work with the Ninja and share your recipes. Thank you.
I am very confused, it says it only takes 16min cooking time, but then it says to leave it in for 4-7hrs ?????
Debbie, read the instructions, typo on the top. This is a slow cooker, nothing is cooked in 16 minutes, lol.
Actually, Ninja has oven & stove top settings. I was so excited to cook this in under 30min. Then I read the instructions. I ended up sauteing my chicken on the high stovetop setting, then adding the sauce. Covered and cooked for about 15min more. It still came out great. 🙂
Tried this today in the Ninja. It was great! Thanks.
Are those boneless breasts?
Yes
Sharon, I don’t see why not. It will slightly change the taste to whatever flavor you use. Don’t use the sugar free kind though because you won’t get the thickness in the sauce.
anything I can do to substitute the jam and soy
sauce?
The Ninja Website has a lot of recipes and they sell a book specifically for it available at Bed Bath. There also is a dedicated fan page on Facebook called the Ninja 3-in-1 Cooking System Recipes where there are thousands of members and recipes.
Oh cool! Thanks! I will look into that!
How would you adapt the recipe for a regular slow cooker?
I used the slow cooker settings for this recipe so it should be exactly the same!
