Honey Sesame Chicken Crock Pot Recipe
I’m all about the dinners everyone loves that come together in no time. I’m also all about Crock Pot meals that I can prep in the morning and not have to worry about dinner when the witching hour hits. Let me add one more: I’m pretty obsessed when these meals can be cooked for dinner and doubled into a Crock Pot freezer meal that I can just grab and cook another time and still look like a dinner hero.

Honey Sesame Chicken Crock Pot Recipe
An easy crockpot recipe you can double and freeze for an easy meal later. This is a family favorite that's incredibly simple!
Ingredients
- 1-2 lbs chicken breast
- 3/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup soy sauce (or amino acids if you're going gluten-free)
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 TBSP sriracha
- A small onion
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Here's where things get really easy- dicing an onion is your hardest step! First, go ahead and finely dice it and add it to the bottom of your slow cooker.
- Add honey, soy sauce, ketchup, garlic, and sriracha. Mix together.
- Add chicken, and coat with sauce.
- Cook on low for four hours. You can also do high for only two hours, but I like it on low a little slower.
- Once it's cooked, remove the chicken and shred on a separate plate. Set aside.
- Turn up the slow cooker to high (or saute or quick rice if you have those options- you want it as warm as it will go). Mix together 1 heaping TBSP of cornstarch with 1/3 cup of water. Add to the sauce and let it get thick and bubbly while it cooks for about 10 minutes.
- Next, add the shredded chicken to the sauce. Stir until it's all coated in honey goodness.
- Serve over rice. Finally, you'll top with a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Enjoy!
