Instructions

  1. Place the chicken in the slow cooker and season with black pepper. In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, tomato paste, vinegar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, 1 tablespoon water and sriracha. Pour over the chicken and cook on LOW 3 to 4 hours.
  2. Remove chicken, leaving the sauce in the slow cooker. Shred chicken with two forks; set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, dissolve cornstarch in remaining 1/4 cup water; add to the slow cooker and stir to combine. Cover and cook on HIGH until slightly thickened, about 15 to 20 minutes; return chicken to the slow cooker and mix well.
  4. Serve chicken and sauce over rice and top with sesame seeds and chopped scallions for garnish.

Notes

  • With Chicken Breast 3 WW points
  • If you won't be home all day, and your slow cooker doesn't go to warm after it's done, it should be fine leaving it on low 6 hours.
  • No Slow Cooker? No Problem! Make this skillet Sesame Chicken Recipe instead!
