Slow Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken

If you are in a hurry to get a meal on before running out the door, than this ones for you. Prep time is 10 to 15 minutes, tops. Add steamed broccoli and cooked rice and dinner is served. I use a sweet chili dipping sauce from Safeway. You can also use a chili/garlic sauce instead but it is has a lot more heat so use less.

8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or 5 large boneless, skinless chicken breast- cut into chunks
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup soy sauce
3 tbsp rice vinegar
4 tbsp sweet chili dipping sauce or 1 tsp garlic/chili sauce
2 tsp sesame oil
1/4 cup water
3tsp cornstarch
4 cups steamed broccoli florets
3 cups cooked white or brown rice
Toastesd sesame seeds for garnish

Place the chicken and the onion on the bottom of the slow cooker. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, chili sauce, minced garlic, vinegar. Pour the sauce over the chicken and onions. Cook on low for 6 hours. Remove the chicken from the sauce. Mix the cornstarch and water together to make a slurry. Pour the sauce into a small sauce pot, add the slurry and bring to a boil. Stir until the sauce thickens. Add the cooked broccoli to the chicken and pour the sauce over all. Serve over steamed rice and garnish with sesame seeds.
