Sweet Sesame Chicken (Slow Cooker)

Picture
Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • salt & pepper
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 TBSP olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • cornstarch/water
  • toasted sesame seeds


Directions:

  • Spray crock pot with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Season chicken pieces with salt & pepper and place in crock pot.
  • In a bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, onion, ketchup, oil, garlic and pepper flakes.
  • Pour over chicken.
  • Cook on low for 4 hours, or high for 2 hours or until chicken is cooked through. (I cooked on low for first 3 hours and then opened and stirred, and set on high for last two hours.)
  • Remove chicken with a slotted spoon, leaving the juices behind.
  • Dissolve 3 heaping TBSPs of cornstarch in 1/4 cup of cold water. This should resemble a thin paste. If too thick, add a bit more water and stir until dissolved.
  • Pour into crock pot and stir until dissolved and sauce starts to thicken. Close lid and heat on high for another 5 to 10 minutes. Sauce should be nice and thick.
  • Shred chicken with 2 forks and add back into to crockpot and stir to coat with sauce.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds when put in serving dish or on plates.


I served this with jasmine rice and a frozen asian vegetable mix stir fried in a bit of veggie oil mixed with sesame oil.
