Pour bottled sweet chili sauce and these 4 ingredients over chicken breasts into a slow cooker for a sticky-sweet dinner you’ll keep coming back to

This slow cooker 5-ingredient sweet chili chicken is the kind of simple, set-it-and-forget-it supper that fits right into a busy farm day or a long workweek. It leans on a bottle of store-bought sweet chili sauce and just four pantry staples poured right over plain chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
By suppertime, you’ve got tender, sticky-sweet chicken that tastes like you fussed, even though you barely lifted a finger. It reminds me of the church potlucks where someone would always bring a sweet, saucy chicken dish that disappeared before anything else—easy, comforting, and familiar.

Serve this sweet chili chicken spooned over fluffy white rice or buttered egg noodles so all that sticky-sweet sauce has something to soak into. Around here, I like to add a simple side of steamed green beans or a tossed salad for something fresh and crisp.

Warm dinner rolls or cornbread are right at home on the table, too. If you’d like to stretch the meal, shred the chicken and tuck it into soft sandwich buns with a little coleslaw on top, or wrap it in flour tortillas with lettuce and cucumbers for a cool, crunchy contrast.
