Crock Pot Honey Sesame Chicken – Easy, delicious Asian-inspired chicken and rice dish – and all you need are pantry staples! | thecomfortofcooking.com

Last Friday my hubby stumbled home from a weeklong business trip, tired of working and traveling, and wanting home cookin’. Poor guy had to eat steaks and sushi all week on the company dime. It’s a hard knock life.

That day, I whipped up this deliciousness in the Crock Pot only to forget that I, in fact, from work home and had to sit in my swivel chair, seduced by its aroma for hours on end. The air, tangy-sweet and savory, had just about convinced me to gnaw on my arm when – ding! – done. Four hours to finished perfection in a pot! And I didn’t have to do a dang thing but whip up a marinade and flip a switch.

Crock Pot Honey Sesame Chicken

Yield: Serves 4-5

Ingredients:

6-8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or 4 chicken breasts (2 lbs. total)

Salt and pepper

1/2 cup diced onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup honey

1/4 cup ketchup

1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

4 teaspoons cornstarch

1/3 cup water

2 packets minute rice, optional

1/2 tablespoon (or more) sesame seeds

3 scallions, chopped

Directions:

Place chicken in Crock Pot and lightly season both sides with salt and pepper.

In a medium bowl, combine onion, garlic, honey, ketchup, soy sauce, oil and red pepper flakes. Pour over chicken. Cook on low for 3-4 hours, or high for 2 hours.

Remove chicken to a cutting board, leaving sauce. Shred chicken into bite-sized pieces; set aside. Prepare rice according to package instructions.

In a small bowl, dissolve 4 teaspoons cornstarch in 1/3 cup water; add to crock pot. Stir to combine with sauce. Cover and cook sauce on high for ten more minutes, or until slightly thickened.

Add cooked rice to 4 plates, top with chicken and spoon sauce over top. Sprinkle evenly with sesame seeds and chopped scallions.

Enjoy!

    Georgia, this crock pot meal looks great! I often cook beef or pork in the slow cooker, since the process really tenderize the meat. Looking at your recipe, I realize the time I cook my chicken has been set too long, that’s why they normally just fall apart and lack the “chew”. Thanks for sharing!

    I added a few small bell peppers and I used a can of pineapple, used the juice in lieu of the water when adding the cornstarch. Excellent, makes it more of a sweet and sour chicken. I also added a bit of sesame oil.

    After reading this post yesterday (starting from Shut Up and Run blog), I made the Crockpot Sesame Honey Chicken and LOVED IT! It was easy to make. I didn’t use ketchup, but instead diced tomatoes from a can. I also added sesame oil. The only thing I would change would be to add the veggies in with the sauce. I served it on brown rice. I’m having it for leftovers. Thank you for this new recipe.

    Use thawed chicken.

  49. Jim D. says

    October 12, 2012 at 3:43 pm

    I thought it was delicious, the kids not so crazy about it, what do kids know? Vegetables are a good idea, maybe water chestnuts as well, give it a lil crunch. I kinda wished the sauce was thicker. The kids say the chicken was a little dry. Maybe with thicker sauce it would “stick” a little more to the meat. Again, I thought it was tremendous!

    Has anyone tried this on low for 8 hrs? I’m curious if I can set it up before leaving for work in the morning?

  63. Georgia | The Comfort of Cooking says

    December 31, 2012 at 11:17 pm

    Cooking for 8 hours on low would result in very overcooked, dry chicken. As suggested, cooking on low for 3-4 hours or high for 2 hours is best.

    made this tonight and it was DELICIOUS! thank you!! i will definitely save the recipe.

    I used just 3 pieces of chicken breast, this may be the reason for so much extra sauce, but i recommend you use an again type white rice, it really makes it!

    Made this last night and it was AMAZING!!! The whole family loved it, I had everything I needed on hand and dinner was fixed in less than 15 minutes. My whole kitchen was clean before we even sat down to eat. SO nice! We did have a lot of sauce so next time I think I’ll throw in a few extra chicken breasts. Using frozen chicken for 8 hrs on low would probably be great. 3 hours on high wasn’t enough and I ended up finishing it in the oven. Thanks so much for sharing this gem of a recipe!

    At a friend’s suggestion, I made this… Or, I’m making it currently. I always fiddle with recipes; it’s a compulsion. One thing I wanted to mention is for the person who wanted a sub for ketchup, I used 2 Tbsp tomato paste and 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar. I figured that the recipe was already going to be sweet and didn’t need more sweetness from the ketchup.

    Thanks to the suggestions above, I’m going to add carrots and red bells an hour before it’s done.

    This recipe is awesome, I have made it several times. The first time I made it the sauce was nice and thick however, all the other times I have made it the sauce is watery! Any suggestions how to thicken it?

    • Georgia — April 3rd, 2013 @ 12:13 pm

      Are you always adding the cornstarch and water mixture? That should thicken it considerably, but if not, up the cornstarch by a couple teaspoons. That should make the sauce nice and thick.

  86. Ronee says

    April 15, 2013 at 4:31 pm

    I made this one night and it was so delicious! But I’m wondering if there’s a faster way to make this just on the stove rather than in the crockpot?

    • Georgia — April 15th, 2013 @ 4:54 pm

      Glad you liked it! To make without a CrockPot, just cook the chicken and sauce separately. I’d simmer the sauce ingredients for a few minutes in a small pot. Then, toss it with the shredded chicken and serve over rice.

    Thanks so much for sharing! I found this recipe through Pinterest and tried it tonight; it was delicious! I made the mistake of using regular soy sauce (not reduced sodium like you recommended), so it was a little on the salty side, so I’m going to do it your way to the T next time! (My husband still raved about it, though, sodium-lover that he is.)

    Thanks for the great recipe! I’m adding it to my rotation. :)

    This recipe has become a staple in our house. I usually mix in some veggies in the last hour, as well as the cornstarch at that time to allow it to really thicken. Serve over rice, and even my 3 year old twins adore it. It also freezes well over rice for a grab’n’go lunch.

    Do u put the chicken back in for the 10 minutes with the sauce while it thickens?

    • Georgia — July 29th, 2013 @ 6:16 pm

      No, just let the sauce thicken separately.

    I made this tonight (making a couple changes) and my kids LOVED IT!

    Try it with Teriyaki instead of Soy Sauce. Add a teeny bit of ground ginger.

    Here’s my post:

    Hey, looks great! Could you tell me about how much chicken you used by weight? The size of chicken breasts around here varies widely! Thanks!

    • Georgia — August 29th, 2013 @ 10:46 am

      Hi Jen, thanks! Both 6-8 chicken thighs and 4 chicken breasts equal about 2 lbs. (more or less). Hope you enjoy!

    This sounds PERFECT for filling my Asian food craving at home, without a lot of work. Read all the comments, and it sounds like unless you use ALL breast meat, or cook it way too long, you almost can ruin this, and for ME, that is GREAT news. *grin* Thanks for sharing! And I echo what others have said: great photos and food staging!

    This was awesome! Along with the chicken, I also made fried rice using a seasoning mix I found in the Asian food section of the grocery store. It was a perfect meal! Looking forward to leftovers tomorrow!

    November 24, 2013 at 7:50 pm

    This recipe was delicious and SO easy!
    I used chicken thighs – I didn’t want the hassle of removing the skin before cooking so I cooked with it on, but I wish I would have added less oil. Next time, I’ll probably halve the veggie oil.
    I cannot wait to eat this left-over a few times! I think once I’m going to add broccoli into the white rice. I’m also planning on putting it over oriental ramen.
    This recipe may help me curb my take-out addiction!

    I will definitely make this again! Possibly for guests!

  105. Genevieve says

    December 30, 2013 at 9:23 pm

    I just HAD to comment. I got a Crock Pot for Christmas and I decided to try out a recipe I’d pinned on Pinterest. My husband picked this one and I’m so glad he did because it was SO delicious! We both gobbled it up quickly and we’re very excited about eating the leftovers on another night. I think it’s the best chicken dish I’ve ever had in my life. Also, I think using thighs rather than breasts made a big difference because dark meat tends to be moister and hold more flavor. It was SO GOOD. Other people are mentioning adding things but I don’t want to change this recipe at all when I make it in the future because it was just that good! Thank you for sharing it with us!

    January 7, 2014 at 3:47 pm

    Can i cook for 3-4 hours on low + then keep in the crock pot on warm while I am at work or will this dry out the chicken? Thanks- looks super tasty + I want to make it.

    • Georgia — January 7th, 2014 @ 3:48 pm

      I’d suggest cooking ahead of time and warming back up when you get home. It shouldn’t take long to heat up.

  107. Caroline says

    January 23, 2014 at 1:12 pm

    Just made this for the first time last night – it was a hit! All four kids and my hubby raved about it and just about licked their plates clean! Thank you for sharing this great recipe – it will become a staple in my menu rotation.

    Just made this tonight. I added ginger, veggies, peanuts, and doubled the sauce – VERY VERY GOOD! Thanks for the great recipe!

  109. Christine says

    February 5, 2014 at 9:01 am

    This recipe looks so good. But I’m feeding 12 people. Could this recipe be doubled or tripled?

    • Georgia — February 5th, 2014 @ 9:14 am

      I’ve never tried doubling or tripling it, but it should work out fine!

  110. Cher says

    February 5, 2014 at 5:13 pm

    I made this recipe using a pack of 12 chicken thighs. Did not need to double the ingredients, it made plenty of sauce. The only suggestion I would make is that I used a gravy separator to drain any grease before adding the cornstarch/water mixture.

    I had leftovers and we mixed the chicken/sauce, rice and a package of cooked broccoli together for the following day and we loved that as well.

    Great recipe!!!

  111. Christine says

    February 6, 2014 at 4:00 am

    Thankyou! Maybe I’ll try tripling the chicken (using both breasts and thighs) and only doubling the sauce. Thanks for the help!

  112. Connie Bussey says

    March 5, 2014 at 6:19 pm

    I made this for a potluck at work this week. OH MY GOD it smelled delish, it WAS delish. I had leftovers (I, too mixed chicken back in the sauce) so I froze it to heat up later in the week. Pretty sure it’ll freeze ok. The taste is outstanding … you have to make this.

  113. Andrea Martin says

    March 8, 2014 at 4:33 pm

    Great recipe, always skeptical of crock pot recipes…only because they never turn out very good. Easy, tasty and kid friendly. Thanks!

  114. Cassie says

    March 27, 2014 at 11:48 am

    I want to try this, but I have a daughter with a tomato sensitivity -so no ketchup. Can I just omit the ketchup, or should I substitute it with something else?

    • Georgia — March 27th, 2014 @ 12:07 pm

      I don’t have recommendations for a ketchup substitution, but you can try omitting it.

  115. Rachel says

    April 11, 2014 at 2:22 pm

    I’m making this right now, but since we limit rice and carbs, I’m steaming some broccoli to serve it with!

  116. Kayla Schott says

    April 22, 2014 at 5:59 pm

    Absolutely love this recipe! I also have a problem getting the sauce to thicken. Even when following the recipe exactly. It doesn’t work. I figured out the hard way that I can’t just put the cornstarch straight into the crockpot. But I felt like the water was…. diluting the cornstarch powers so-to-speak. So I simply added less water, to make a super thick paste before putting it in. My problem might have been not getting enough cornstarch into the teaspoon. But what ever the problem was, that seemed to do the trick. Though I added a bunch of extra cornstarch. Its thick now, but a slight hint of cornstarch flavor to it. haha I will know what to do next time!

  117. Emily Weirdnez says

    May 15, 2014 at 2:55 am

    What if we don’t have a CrockPot? What can I use instead? Thank you!

    • Georgia — May 15th, 2014 @ 7:45 am

      If cooking without a CrockPot, I’d precook the chicken however you like (bake, broil, etc.) then shred and toss with the sauce. First, bring the sauce to a boil in a small saucepan for 20 minutes. During the last 5 minutes, stir in the slurry (cornstarch + water mixture) then toss with chicken. Enjoy!

  118. Rose says

    June 22, 2014 at 11:49 am

    Hi, not sure I’ll get my answer on time but it’s worth a shot ;) If I use bone in chicken thighs, will the time be the same? Because I could leave it on for longer but I don’t want the chicken to dry out, as mentioned to another commenter. I didn’t see anyone post about using bone-in meat, sorry if I missed this answer already given. Thanks so much.

    I love all the recipes of yours I have tried! Citrus herb roasted chicken is an all time fav :)

    • Georgia — June 22nd, 2014 @ 5:03 pm

      Hi Rose – I’ve never cooked this with bone-in thighs, but I believe the cooking time would be the same.

  119. Celeste says

    July 16, 2014 at 9:22 am

    This recipe looks great! I am getting ready to make a bunch of freezer meals. I wonder if you could put the sauce ingredients and the chicken in a freezer bag and then dump in the crockpot on the way to work. What are your thoughts?

    • Georgia — July 16th, 2014 @ 11:05 am

      Hi Celeste – Yes, that would work out fine.

  120. Crystal says

    August 3, 2014 at 4:17 pm

    I am making this right now. I accidentally added the water and cornstarch to the sauce mix. Hopefully it will be fine! Can’t wait to try this in a few hours!!

  123. McKenzie says

    September 15, 2014 at 12:30 pm

    This looks awesome! Planning to make this for Sunday dinner with all of my college friends in my new crockpot! Any tips on increasing the cooking time if I was to double the recipe and add 8 chicken breasts? Would it work out to add broccoli/peppers towards the end?

    • Georgia — September 15th, 2014 @ 1:44 pm

      You can try it! I’ve only made the recipe as written, but I would increase the cooking time by 1-2 hours and just keep an eye on it.

  124. Carey says

    September 23, 2014 at 7:45 pm

    Hey! I grabbed all of the supplies today at the store, but I have all frozen chicken breasts. I’m going to thaw them out today, since I’m not using any chicken thighs, will my meat turn out dry? I want a nice tender, juicy chicken!

    • Georgia — November 23rd, 2014 @ 6:24 pm

      Sorry, I’m not sure what your question is. Are you using frozen or thawed chicken breasts? As noted in the recipe, you can use either.

  127. Sam says

    December 4, 2014 at 1:19 pm

    I loved this tonight, and I like the comment about using tom paste and cider vinagar as it was very sweet.

    Do you have a calories, sugars, salt breakdown? I wonder if it’s pretty unhealthy or ok?

    How would this be adding pineapple chunks and bell pepper to it once it is finished with the honey?

    • Georgia — December 5th, 2014 @ 9:15 pm

      That sounds good! If the bell peppers are raw, you can add them while cooking. I would add the pineapple chunks towards the end, though.

  129. Donna+Freeman says

    December 6, 2014 at 8:28 pm

    ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! We had this for dinner tonight, very easy to make, we did add the peppers and pineapple and OMG! Delicious.

  130. Busybeegal says

    December 9, 2014 at 9:39 am

    If adding raw bell peppers, do so at the beginning? Thanks!

      Yes.

    January 6, 2015 at 6:49 pm

    My wife had to work late and I was home with the kids who had a snow day. I found this online. I went to the store for the ingredients and cooked about 2.3 pounds of chicken on high for two hours (only had time for the 2 hour option). I followed the directions precisely and it was great!! Everyone loved it and my wife was impressed! We will be making this again! Thanks so much!!

  134. Danielle says

    February 4, 2015 at 6:56 pm

    This came out awesome. I had my fiancé turn it off halfway through the day and I thickened the sauce on the stove top when I got home. I might use sesame oil next time, but there definitely will be a next time! I used 2.5lbs of chicken and made baked brown rice. Can’t beat the fact that we had dinner for 2 for under $3! I’ll be trying to freeze the leftovers.

    Keep bears aside by properly keeping your food and getting rid of your waste. Once you depart foods out or perhaps in your tent or protection, near by bears might destroy your site to get it. Ensure that it stays harmless and way through your camp out. Try out setting it within a great spot like on a tall tree division or on a rope.

    If you are carrying out pest management your self, make sure that you keep the household pets from any places that you apply poison. Many items may be used close to domestic pets, however you nonetheless must retain the household pets aside right up until these inorganic pesticides dried up. Look at the labels on any bug sprays to ensure that you are using them effectively.
