This Crock Pot Sesame Chicken is a culinary solution for busy households seeking high-quality, flavorful meals. By slow-cooking boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a savory blend of soy sauce, honey, and toasted sesame oil, the meat becomes incredibly tender and infused with deep umami. Enhanced by the aromatics of fresh garlic and ginger, this dish ensures a perfect, consistent result every time. Shred it at the end to create a delicious, glaze-coated meal that is naturally sweetened and remarkably easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale

1.5 lbs (680g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup (120ml) low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup (60ml) honey
2 tbsp (30ml) toasted sesame oil
1 tbsp (15g) fresh garlic, minced
1 tbsp (10g) fresh ginger, grated

Instructions

Rinse the chicken breasts and pat them completely dry.
Trim any visible fat or cartilage from the chicken.
Place the chicken breasts into the base of the crock pot.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.
Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken.
Cover and cook on low for 5 hours.
Use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the pot, mixing it well with the juices.
Serve warm, ensuring each piece is well-coated in the sauce.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For a thicker sauce, whisk in a teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with a tablespoon of water during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
