Ingredients

• 2.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4 breasts; thighs would be fine too)
• Salt and pepper
• 1 c honey
• 1/2 c soy sauce
• 1/4 c diced onion
• 1/4 c ketchup
• 2 T canola oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 t red pepper flakes (optional)
• 4 t cornstarch dissolved in 6 tablespoons water
• Sesame seeds

Preparation

Season both sides of chicken with lightly with salt and pepper, put into crock pot. In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, onion, ketchup, oil, garlic and pepper flakes. Pour over chicken.

Cook on low for 3-4 hours or on high 1 1/2 – 2 1/2 hours, or just until chicken is cooked through. If using frozen breasts, 5-6 hours on low.

Remove chicken from crock pot, leave sauce. Dissolve 4 teaspoons of cornstarch in 6 tablespoons of water and pour into crock pot. Stir to combine with sauce.

Replace lid and cook sauce on high for ten more minutes or until slightly thickened.

Cut chicken into bite size pieces, then return to pot and toss with sauce before serving.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve over rice or noodles.
