Crock Pot Honey Sesame Chicken

“This recipe calls for boneless, skinless chicken thighs of which I am a big fan.  They are inexpensive and I think they are more flavorful and moist than chicken breasts.  I especially like them better in a crock pot because they don’t tend to dry out as much as chicken breasts do.  But I know there are people who just don’t like chicken thighs so you can totally use chicken breasts in this recipe too.” Leigh Anne

Ingredients:

6-8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or 2 chicken breasts (about 2 lbs total)

Salt and pepper

½ cup onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup honey

¼ cup ketchup

½ cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons olive oil

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

4 teaspoons cornstarch

⅓ cup water

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

3 green onions, chopped

Instructions:

Put chicken in crock pot.

Season with salt and pepper

In a bowl combine onion, garlic, honey, ketchup, soy sauce, oil and red pepper flakes.

Pour over chicken

Cook on low for 3-4 hours or high for 2 hours

Remove chicken and shred.

In a small bowl combine cornstarch and water.

Pour sauce in crock pot into a sauce pan and add in the cornstarch mixture.

Stirring often.

  1. Sounds lovely. Have you ever tried this in the oven rather than slow cooker? I don't always love the way chicken "shreds" in a slow cooker. Or does this not happen because of using thighs?

    1. Indeed it sounds lovely, but no, I never tried this in the oven rather than slow cooker. I think it would be another lovely and different recipe, that I would try soon. Or let me know if you try it first.
