Step 1

Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a 6 quart or larger slow cooker.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, vinegar, apple juice, garlic, soy sauce and pepper and then pour over the chicken in the slow cooker.

Step 3

Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours.

Step 4

Remove chicken from the slow cooker and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

Carefully pour the liquid from the slow cooker into a medium sauce pan and bring to a simmer on the stove-top.

Step 6

While the liquid is coming to a simmer, combine the cornstarch and cold water in a small cup or bowl to create a slurry.

Step 7

Slowly pour the slurry mixture into the simmering sauce in the pan and simmer while stirring until the mixture begins to thicken, about 2 to 3 minutes and forms a glaze.

Step 8

Serve chicken with sauce/glaze over top for a delicious meal.
