Crock Pot Honey Sesame Chicken

This Crock Pot Honey Sesame Chicken is amazing!  One of my favorite slow cooker recipes.

Be sure and watch the video below to see how it is made.

crockpot sesame chicken

On a busy day when you don’t want to cook, this Crockpot Sesame Chicken is so easy it will feel like you didn’t cook!  Besides being easy it is also so delicious!  The perfect family meal!

This recipe calls for boneless, skinless chicken thighs.  When using a crockpot, I am a big fan of using chicken thighs.  They are inexpensive and more flavorful.  And most importantly for the crockpot, they are moist.  They won’t dry out the way a chicken breast can.   But I know there are people who just don’t like chicken thighs so you can absolutely substitute chicken breasts in this recipe too.

How to Make Crockpot Sesame Chicken

The chicken gets put in the crock pot with a sauce of onion, garlic, honey ketchup, soy sauce, oil, and red pepper flakes.

Use 6-8 thighs or 4 breasts.  You want about 2 pounds of meat.

Let it cook on low for 3-4 hours or 2 hours on high.  Then remove the meat and shred it.

You are also going to use the sauce that is left in the pot.

Put the sauce into a sauce pan.  Add in 1/3 C of water with 4 tsp cornstarch mixed in into the sauce pan.  Stir to combine and then cook over medium high head for about ten minutes or until the sauce thickens.

Then pour the sauce back over the shredded chicken.  Serve over rice and top with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

It’s pretty and delicious!

    Wow Sister Wilkes! I used an almost 2 pound pork sirloin tip roast from Costco AND some chicken thighs. I cut the raw roast into chunks, did the same with the boneless skinless frozen thighs. Put the meat in my CP, dumped the chopped onion on top of the meat. Then I mixed the sauce ingredients using GF soy sauce, EXCEPT I only used two dashes of red pepper flakes. I didn’t have any oil, so I used two tablespoons bacon grease (yum btw, I use bacon grease all the time). And I used tapioca starch in place of cornstarch.. This was yum!
    It tastes like teriyaki chicken. Even my picky eaters liked it. 2# 6 ounces of meat for 9 people and there were leftovers, hurrah for lunch!
    Thank you
