Servings 1
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- ½ cup honey
- ⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar optional
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil optional
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water for thickening
- Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
Prep the Chicken:
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and place them in the crockpot.
Make the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, ketchup, garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Pour the sauce over the chicken, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
Cook:
- Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
Thicken the Sauce:
- In the last 30 minutes of cooking, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to make a slurry. Stir it into the crockpot and let the sauce thicken.
Serve:
- Sprinkle sesame seeds and green onions on top. Serve warm as an appetizer or over rice for a main meal.
Notes
- Use chicken thighs for juicier bites or chicken breasts for a leaner option.
- For extra texture, broil the chicken bites for 2-3 minutes after cooking to caramelize the sauce.
