Healthy Crockpot Chinese Honey Garlic Chicken

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
• 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/2 cup onion, diced
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water
• Sesame seeds, for garnish
• Green onions, chopped (for garnish)

1. Trim any excess fat off the chicken breasts and place them in the crockpot.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, low sodium soy sauce, hoisin sauce, minced ginger, minced garlic, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.
3. Pour the sauce over the chicken in the crockpot, making sure the chicken is well-coated.
4. Sprinkle diced onions over the top of the chicken and sauce.
5. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
6. Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a plate and shred it with two forks, then set aside.
7. In a small bowl, mix together cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry.
8. Stir the slurry into the sauce left in the crockpot to thicken it.
9. Place the shredded chicken back into the crockpot and stir to coat it in the thickened sauce.
10. Let the chicken cook in the sauce on low for an additional 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
11. Serve the honey garlic chicken over rice or vegetables, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
