Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken breast thawed
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- Sriracha sauce optional, to taste
Sweet Chili Sesame Sauce
- 2-4 tablespoons sweet chili sauce I use Mae Ploy, Asian style
- 1/3 cup soy sauce low sodium
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- 1/3 cup brown sugar packed
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce like Lee Kum Kee or Kikkkoman, quality
- 2 tablespoons rice wine
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil toasted
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder or 3-4 garlic cloves minced
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger or 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Garnishes
- sesame seeds toasted
- green onion chopped
- sriracha or Asian chili sauce to taste
Instructions
- Add chicken to the bottom of a lighlty greased slow cooker.
- Whisk the Sweet Chili Sesame Sauce ingredients together in a medium bowl. Pour over the chicken.
- Cook on low for 5-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours OR until the chicken is tender enough to shred (check the chicken early). If you are using thin chicken breasts or boneless chicken thighs, reduce the cooking time.
- Shred chicken in the crockpot and add 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 1/4 cup water to the crockpot. Stir contents around. Cook on high for 20-30 minutes until sauce thickens. Taste and add Sriracha for spicier, brown sugar for sweeter if desired. *Alternatively, you can add the cornstarch slurry and liquid from the crockpot to a saucepan and simmer until thickened on the stove - this will create a thicker sauce.*
- Serve with rice and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
Notes
- *If you don't like heat at all, start with 2 tablespoons Asian Sweet Chili Sauce. You can always add more at the end of cooking.
- **Hoisin sauce can be found in the Asian section of your grocery store.
