Slow-Cooked Honey Sesame Chicken
Adapted from [Six Sisters’ Stuff|http://www.sixsistersstuff.com/2012/01/slow-cooker-honey-sesame-chicken-recipe.html]
Yields: 4-6 servings
Ingredients
- 8-10 chicken breast tenderloins or 4-5 chicken breast halves (thighs would also be tasty, or a combo of light and dark meat)
- Salt and pepper
- 3/4c honey
- 1/2c soy sauce
- 1/4c ketchup
- 2T canola oil
- 1/2c diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4t red pepper flakes
- 2T cornstarch dissolved in 6T COLD water
- Sesame seeds (I used about 1T)
Instructions
Place chicken in the bottom of the slow-cooker (frozen chicken is ok). Season with salt and pepper.
In a bowl, mix honey, soy, ketchup, oil, onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Set slow-cooker to low and cook, covered, for 3-4 hours (until chicken is cooked through and fork-tender).
Remove chicken from pot and set on cutting board. Cut into bite sized pieces.
Meanwhile, mix cornstarch and cold water. Whisk into pot with sauce. Change temperature to high and cook until sauce thickens. When sauce is thicker, return chicken to pot and warm through.
Sprinkle a generous amount of sesame seeds over chicken. Serve chicken and sauce over rice.
