Sesame Chicken for Slow Cooker

Ingredients

• 1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

• ½ cup honey

• ¼ cup soy sauce

• 2 tablespoons ketchup

• 2 tablespoons dried minced onion

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

• 2 teaspoons cornstarch

• 3 tablespoons water

• sesame seeds, or to taste

Directions

Step 1 - Spread chicken into the crock of a slow cooker.

Step 2 - Stir honey, soy sauce, ketchup, minced onion, vegetable oil, and garlic powder together in a bowl; pour over the chicken.

Step 3 - Cook on Low until the chicken is tender, 3 to 4 hours.

Step 4 - Remove chicken from the sauce in the slow cooker to a cutting board. Stir water and cornstarch together to dissolve cornstarch completely; pour into the sauce in the slow cooker until smooth.

Step 5 - Cook on High until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.

Step 6 - Cut chicken into bite-size pieces and stir into the sauce. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the chicken and sauce mixture.

Cook's Note:

You can also cook the chicken in sauce on High for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours, if you want it finished sooner.
