    Slow Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken

    Slow Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken is a Crock Pot recipe that you can whip up together in no time! The hard part is waiting for it to get done! Totally better than take-out. 

    Slow Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken is super simple to make. Instead of ordering take out try this recipe instead. The slow cooker or Instant Pot does all the work for you. I like to serve this with a ½ cup of rice for 3 SmartPoints.  I garnished my slow cooker sesame chicken with scallions and sesame seeds.

    How to make Slow Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken Instructions: 

    1. Spread chicken into the crock of a slow cooker.
    2. Stir honey, soy sauce, ketchup, minced onion, vegetable oil, and garlic powder together in a bowl; pour over the chicken.
    3. Cook on Low until the chicken is tender, 3 to 4 hours.
    4. Remove chicken from the sauce in the slow cooker to a cutting board. Stir water and cornstarch together to dissolve cornstarch completely; pour into the sauce in the slow cooker until smooth.
    5. Cook on High until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
    6. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces and stir into the sauce. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the chicken and sauce mixture

    Instant Pot Honey Sesame Instructions:   

    1. In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, ketchup, onion, oil, and garlic powder.  Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your Instant Pot and pour the sauce over chicken.  Cover your Instant Pot with the lid on and set to sealing mode.
    2. Cook on the meat setting for 20 minutes and then quick release once the 20 minutes is up. Remove chicken breasts from pot, leave sauce.
    3. Dissolve cornstarch in water in a small bowl (mix the 2 ingredients together until the flour has dissolved) and pour into your Instant Pot. Stir to combine with sauce. Push the Saute button and cook sauce for about 5 minutes or until slightly thickened.
