Sesame Chicken is my all-time favorite chinese food and while I definitely prefer the restaurant version (especially Ming’s Garden), sometimes a little less fried food is a good thing. So here is a slightly healthier version that you can make in your crockpot!
Yields 8-10 servings

Ingredients
- 1 cup honey
- 2 cups soy sauce
- 1 can tomato paste
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp minced onion
- 1 tsp ground red pepper (or use red pepper flakes)
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (lightly season with salt and pepper)
- 3 teaspoons cornstarch
- rice
Instructions
Add all the ingredients (except chicken and cornstarch) to your crockpot. Mix well.
Add your chicken and cook for 6 hours (on high) or 8 hours (on low).
Remove your chicken from the crockpot and cut it up.
Add cornstarch to the sauce and simmer on HIGH for 20 minutes until the sauce thickens. (Taste test the sauce, if it is too salty or not sweet enough, add a little sugar)
Add the chicken to the sauce and stir.
Serve over rice.
