Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 1 cup Diced onion
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 4 cloves Minced garlic
- 4 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 6 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 4 cups Cooked white or brown rice (for serving)
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker in a single layer.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, diced onion, ketchup, vegetable oil, and minced garlic until combined.
Pour the honey sesame sauce mixture evenly over the chicken in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker with a lid and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove the breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Slowly stir this mixture into the sauce in the slow cooker.
Turn the slow cooker to high heat and let the sauce thicken for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to coat it evenly in the thickened sauce.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the chicken and stir gently to combine.
Serve the honey sesame chicken over cooked white or brown rice. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
