Crockpot Honey Sesame Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 boneless,
  skinless chicken breasts (thighs work too), diced into one inch cubes
• Salt and Pepper
• 1 cup honey
• ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce, gluten free
• ½ cup diced onion
•  ¼ cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons
  olive oil {substitute vegetable oil or canola oil if needed}
• 2 cloves garlic,
  mined
• ¼ tsp red pepper
  flakes ( this is optional – it adds more flavor and not heat)
• 4 teaspoons
  cornstarch dissolved in 6 tablespoons hot water
• Sesame seeds
• 1-2 scallions
  {green onions} finely chopped 
• I served the chicken over rice, but you could do vegetables or noodles as well.

Instructions

1. Once your chicken is cubed,
   lightly season with salt & pepper and put in crock-pot.
2. In a small bowl, combine honey,
   soy sauce, ketchup, onion, oil, pepper flakes, and garlic. Pour over the
   chicken.
3. Cook on low for 3-4 hours or on
   high for 1 ½ – 2 ½ hours or until chicken is cooked all the way through.
4. Using a slotted spoon, remove the
   chicken, cover and set aside. Leave the sauce in the crock pot.
5. In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch
   into 1/4 cup hot water and pour into crock pot. Stir to combine with the
   sauce.
6. Replace lid and let simmer on HIGH
   for 10 more minutes  or until the
   sauce thickens.
7. Turn off the heat and re-add the
   chicken to the sauce, stirring to coat.
8. Serve over basmati or jasmine
   rice.
