Ingredients
- 2 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 2 2 teaspoons fresh ginger minced
- 1/4 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/4 1/4 cup cold water
- 2 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- optional sesame seeds and green onions to garnish
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker.
- In a small bowl, stir together the garlic, ginger, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Pour over the chicken.
- Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low 6-7 hours.
- Remove chicken from the slow cooker and shred with two forks.
- Pour the sauce in the slow cooker through a strainer into a sauce pan. Bring mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water. Pour mixture into the sauce pan. Stir and bring to a boil for a few minutes to thicken.
- Pour sauce over chicken and toss to coat. I like to keep the mixture in the crockpot on warm. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions when serving.
