Crock Pot Honey Sesame Chicken

Slightly modified recipe. Original recipe from Baby Center.

This chicken is so delicious!! I'm telling you, you can't go wrong with this recipe. It is nice and easy...perfect for the busy school season or for when you just don't feel like cooking (which I admit, does happen at times). 

What you'll need
1 1/4 lb. Chicken thighs, boneless, skinless
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup Honey
1/4 cup Soy sauce
2 tbsp Diced onion
2 tbsp Ketchup
1 tbsp Canola oil
1 Garlic clove, minced
1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
2 tsp Cornstarch dissolved in 3 tbsp water
Sesame seeds

How to
1.  Season both sides of chicken lightly with salt and pepper, put in crock pot. 

2.  In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, onion, ketchup, oil, garlic and pepper flakes. Pour over chicken. 

3.  Cook on low for 3-4 hours or on hight for 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 hours, or just until chicken is cooked through.

4.  Dissolve cornstarch in water and pour into crock pot. Stir to combine with sauce (You can remove the chicken first if it's easier, but I just poured it right in). Replace lid and cook sauce on high for 10 more minutes or until sauce is slightly thickened. 

5.  Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve over rice or noodles.
