I have previously made Slow Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken and it is still one of my favorite slow cooker meals. This is version 2 of my original recipe since I made it for my mom-to-be friend as a make ahead meal/freezer meal. I used chicken breasts instead of chicken thighs this time and left out the onions. The sauce is basically the same, and since I froze this before cooking, I didn't add in the sesame seeds (which is for garnish). My cousin made the first version with chicken tenders and she said it was "so delicious." My friend is also allergic to nuts so sesame was on the safe food list, yay! I hope she likes this dish as much as I do!
Slow Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken 2
Slow Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken 2
Ingredients
1 pound chicken (I used 2 large chicken breasts)
½ cup honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce (I used low sodium soy sauce)
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon sesame oil
¼ teaspoon ginger, minced
Directions
In a bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, ketchup,
oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, sesame oil and ginger.
Add chicken into a freezer bag and pour sauce into bag. Mix together sauce and chicken in bag with
hands.
Freeze until ready to cook in slow cooker. I would suggest defrosting the night
before to cook in slow cooker the next morning.
Cook on low for 3 to 4 hours or on high for 1 ½ to 2 ½ hours,
until chicken is cooked through.
Serves 2.
