A delectable slow-cooked chicken dish that combines sweet and savory flavors with a sticky glaze, perfect for busy weeknights or gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds chicken breast
  • 1 cup honey
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • Dash of white pepper
  • 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds
  • Green onions (thinly sliced for garnish)
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon water

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts in your crock pot, laying them flat.
  2. In a bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, ketchup, sesame oil, ginger, red pepper flakes, garlic, and white pepper.
  3. Pour the sauce over the chicken, coating it thoroughly.
  4. Set the slow cooker to low and cook for approximately 150 minutes.
  5. Remove the chicken, cut it into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.
  6. Dissolve cornstarch in water and stir into the remaining sauce in the crock pot.
  7. Let the sauce thicken on the warm setting for about 10 minutes.
  8. Return the chicken to the pot and stir to coat with the thickened sauce.

Notes

Marinate the chicken in the sauce overnight for deeper flavor. Searing the chicken beforehand adds a crispy texture.
