Lazy Girl Crockpot Sesame Chicken


Well..
That was easy.
I saw some really sweet recipes online... not like "Sweet"... more like too much honey!
So I had a go at this popular Pinterest recipe myself.  1 1/2 hours in the crock pot, with another 30 minutes to finish the sauce.  
Can't get much more lazy than that. 

I'm not even going to write many instructions...
- slice chicken into strips, or chunks, of roughly equal size
- Add chicken pieces and all the rest of the ingredients (NOT the water and cornstarch yet...)
- Set crockpot on high for 90 minutes, stir every 30 minutes.
- Add the cornstarch/water mixture, stir every 10 minutes
- Serve over rice, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions, if desired.


Serves 4
Ingredients

3 large chicken breasts, cut into pieces (approx 1 1/2 lbs)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup hoisin sauce (Ketchup might work as a substitute
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
4 cloves garlic, crushed and minced or 1-2 tsp ground garlic
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1/2 onion chopped, or 2 Tbsp dried minced onions

After 1 1/2 hours cooking, add: 
1 Tbsp corn starch
1 Tbsp water
- Mix it together to make a "slurry" and stir the whole mixture to combine.
Stir every 10 minutes, for another total of 30 minutes.

Serve over rice, and sprinkle with:
  • Sesame seeds
  • Green Onions, sliced 
 Here's the instructions (in case you missed it above)...

- Add chicken pieces and all the rest of the ingredients (NOT the water and cornstarch yet...)
- Set crockpot on high for 90 minutes, stir every 30 minutes.
- Add the cornstarch/water mixture, stir every 10 minutes
