Ingredients

2 Pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 Garlic cloves, minced
1/3 Cup red onions, minced
2 Tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 Tablespoons tamari or coconut aminos
1/4 Cup honey
1/2 Teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1/2 Teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 Tablespoons toasted sesame seeds, divided
1 Tablespoon tomato paste
1/4 Cup water
1 1/2 Teaspoons arrowroot powder or organic cornstarch (optional for thickening sauce)
Brown rice for serving
1 Green onion, (green part only) sliced thin for garnish

Instructions

In a medium sauce pan, sauté the garlic and onions in the sesame oil until the onions become translucent.
2. Stir in the tamari or coconut aminos, honey, ginger, red pepper flakes, 1 Tablespoon of the sesame seeds, tomato paste, and water until well combined.
3. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. If you wish to have a thicker sauce, whisk in the arrowroot powder or cornstarch here as well.
4. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock and pour the sauce over the chicken.
5. Cook on high for 2 to 3 hours or on low for 4 to 5 hours. The chicken should shred easily when done.
6. Serve over brown rice and sprinkle remaining sesame seeds over the top for garnish and extra flavor.

I made this twice. The first time i found the sauce to loosen up too much during cooking and the chicken fell apart. To address this, I first seared the chicken in sesame oil and added the sauce late in the cooking process. I also found the sauce to have too much heat, so I reduced the red pepper flake for proper sweet to heat balance

Due to gradual and even heating of a slow cooker, recipes featured on this site can be cooked in a range of slow cooker sizes. Most recipes can be accommodated in a slow cooker that is either one quart smaller or one quart larger than specified. If using a smaller sized slow cooker, please use caution when preparing your meal to prevent over filling. For smaller sauces and dips that call for 3 quarts or less, it is not recommended to alter the unit size. Crock-Pot® is a registered trademark and should not be used generically when referring to a ‘slow cooker’ within the recipes.
