Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Slow Cooker Sesame Chicken.
Step 1
Start by placing the chicken breasts evenly in your slow cooker, creating a cozy bed for them.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, ketchup, dried minced onion, vegetable oil, and garlic powder.
Step 3
Give it a good stir until everything is well blended, then pour this delicious mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated in that sweet and savory goodness.
Step 4
Cover the slow cooker and let it work its magic on Low for 3 to 4 hours, or if you're short on time, on High for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours, until the chicken is perfectly cooked and tender.
Step 5
Once the chicken is done, carefully remove it from the slow cooker and set it aside on a cutting board to rest.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix together water and cornstarch until smooth, then stir this mixture into the flavorful sauce left in the slow cooker.
Step 7
Switch the slow cooker to High and let it cook for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken just a bit.
Step 8
While thatβs happening, cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and return it to the slow cooker, giving it a gentle stir to coat each piece in that luscious sauce.
Step 9
For the finishing touch, sprinkle sesame seeds over the chicken before serving, adding a delightful crunch and a pop of flavor.
Step 10
Enjoy your meal, and savor the compliments that are sure to come your way!.
