Slow Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken
This Asian-inspired Slow Cooker Honey Chicken is a hassle-free dinner solution to what’s for dinner. It’s takeout food made at home.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 4 (about 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 6 - 8 cloves garlic, grated
- 2 green onions, sliced
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- jasmine rice (make the amount you want to serve)
Instructions
- In your slow cooker add the chicken in a single layer. Using the micrograter, grate the garlic over the chicken.
- Add the soy sauce, honey, hoisin sauce, garlic, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, and salt and pepper. Stir until well combined, coating the chicken on both sides.
- Cover and cook in the slow cooker for 3-4 hours on high or 6-7 hours on low. Make sure to flip the chicken breast over when cooked halfway.
- Once fully cooked, shred the chicken. You can use two forks to do this task or a hand mixer. I find the forks are just as fast.
- Once you shred the meat, mix it well with the sauce, cover it, and let sit on LOW until your rice is ready.
- Serve over jasmine rice and top with scallions and sesame seeds for garnish.
