Ingredients  

  • 2 lbs chicken thighs diced, or breast
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated, optional
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch optional, for thickening

Instructions

  • Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces and add them to the slow cooker in an even layer.
  • In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger if using, and water.
  • Pour the sauce over the chicken and turn everything once so each piece is coated.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  • Remove the chicken and slice or leave in pieces.
  • If desired, mix the cornstarch with a little cold water, stir it into the sauce and cook for 10 to 15 minutes until thickened.
  • Spoon the sauce over the chicken and top with sesame seeds and sliced spring onions.

Notes

Nutrition values are an estimate. Do not add extra stock, as nothing evaporates under the lid. Add vegetables only in the last 30 minutes, and check breast meat at three hours rather than five.
