4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (thighs would be fine too)
Salt and
pepper
1 cup honey
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup diced onion
1/4 cup
ketchup
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (could also use olive oil or canola
oil)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4
teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional - doesn't really add heat, just adds more
flavor)
4 teaspoons
cornstarch dissolved in 6 Tablespoons water
Sesame
seeds
Directions:
Season both sides of chicken with
lightly with salt and pepper, put into crock pot. In a small bowl, combine
honey, soy sauce, onion, ketchup, oil, garlic and pepper flakes. Pour over
chicken. Cook on low for 3-4 hours or on high 1 1/2 – 2 1/2 hours, or just until
chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken from crock pot, leave sauce. Dissolve
4 teaspoons of cornstarch in 6 tablespoons of water and pour into crock pot.
Stir to combine with sauce. Replace lid and cook sauce on high for ten more
minutes or until slightly thickened. Cut chicken into bite size pieces, then
return to pot and toss with sauce before serving. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and
serve over rice or noodles.
THis makes a lot and can serve my family twice
with leftovers. We eat it over rice.
If freezing then follow all
directions, cook, place in ziplocks and freeze. When ready to eat then thaw and
reheat.
