This recipe is an easy one! For when you need to just throw something in the crockpot quick this is nice. It was yummy too. We had it over rice with salad, and green beans. Next time I make it though I will probably want to use chicken thighs just because it is a moister meat and I like it better. Breasts were still good if thats all you have.
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (thighs would be fine too I used breasts and think thighs would be better)
Salt and pepper1 cup honey(I did about 3/4 cup agave and a 1/4 cup honey)
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup diced onion( I did a little more than a 1/2 cup probably about 3/4 just so i could use my whole onion)
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (could also use olive oil or canola oil I used olive)
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.
*You can also sprinkle more red pepper flakes on top if you want more heat.
