Cooking MethodSlow Cooker

Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Black pepper, freshly ground (for seasoning chicken)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons reduced sugar ketchup
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (to taste)
  • 1/2 piece fresh ginger, grated (can substitute 3/4 teaspoon powdered ginger)
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch, dissolved in 2 tablespoons water
  • Sesame seeds, toasted (for garnish)
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish - optional)

Instructions

  1. Place boneless, skinless chicken breasts, seasoned to taste with ground black pepper (there should be enough salt due to the soy sauce) in slow cooker.
     
  2. In a small bowl, combine your honey, soy sauce, ketchup, garlic, oil, red pepper flakes and grated ginger. Pour sauce over chicken.
     
  3. Cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours until chicken is cooked through.
     
  4. To thicken sauce: remove chicken once cooked. Stir cornstarch/water mixture into sauce and cook on high for 15 minutes (or until sauce begins to thicken). Add chicken back into pot, toss to coat.
     
  5. Serve with toasted sesame seeds and green onions over brown rice.
