Ingredients

  • Ingredients
  • -4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (thighs would be fine too)
  • -Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • -1 cup honey
  • -1/2 cup soy sauce, low sodium
  • -1/2 cup diced onion
  • -1/4 cup ketchup, low sugar
  • -2 tablespoons vegetable oil (could also use olive oil or canola oil)
  • -2 cloves garlic, minced
  • -1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
  • -2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • -4 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 6 Tablespoons water

Method

  • 1. Place all ingredients, but the cornstarch in a crock-pot and turn on high for 3-6 hours.
  • 2. At 3 hours, check the chicken breasts to see if they are fully cook (not pink in the middle). Once they are cooked, take chicken breast out and shred them using a fork. Place shredded chicken back in pot and let cook for an additional 30 minutes.
  • 3. Next, over medium high heat, dissolve 4 teaspoons of cornstarch in 6 tablespoons of water. Then, add to the crock-pot and mix. This will help thicken your sauce.
  • 4. Eat over a bed of brown rice or quinoa and garnish with sesame seeds.
