Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 0.25 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 4 servings cooked rice or noodles
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot in a single layer.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger, and sesame oil until well combined.
Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated.
Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook on low heat for 6–8 hours or on high heat for 4–5 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the crock pot and shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry.
Stir the slurry into the sauce in the crock pot, then return the shredded chicken to the pot. Stir well to coat the chicken with the thickened sauce.
Let the chicken and sauce cook on high heat for an additional 15–20 minutes, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
Garnish the chicken with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
Serve the Oriental chicken over cooked rice or noodles, and enjoy!
