Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons minced onion
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon cold water
  • 5 cups cooked brown rice
  • Steamed broccoli

Instructions

  • Spray a crockpot with olive oil cooking spray. Layer the bottom with the chicken. Mix honey, soy sauce, 1/4 cup water, garlic, ginger, oil, pepper flakes, and onion. Pour over chicken.
  • Cook on high for 2 1/2 hours. I flipped it halfway so it got coated on all sides.
  • After 2 1/2 hours, remove chicken and cut into bite size pieces. If shredded chicken is what you enjoy, cook on low for 4-6 hours.
  • Pour the sauce from the crockpot into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil. While you are waiting for it to boil, whisk the cold water and cornstarch together in a small mug or bowl.
  • Once the sauce is boiling, slowly add the cornstarch and water mixture. Continue whisking sauce until thickened, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour over the chicken. Serve over rice with steamed broccoli. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if you them for a little texture!
