Place the chopped chicken breast into the slow cooker.
Add chicken broth, hot sauce, tomato sauce, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or high for 1.5-2 hours, until chicken is tender.
To thicken the sauce, whisk cornstarch and water together, then stir into the slow cooker. Let it cook for 15-20 minutes to thicken.
Stir in heavy cream and cook for another 5 minutes to make the sauce rich and creamy.
Serve the Firecracker Chicken over rice, noodles, or as a salad topping.

For a vegetarian version, swap chicken for tofu or tempeh.

Add more hot sauce or red pepper flakes to adjust the heat level.

Increase brown sugar for a sweeter and spicier flavor.

You can add vegetables like bell peppers or onions to the slow cooker for more texture and flavor.
