Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts 2 pounds
  • ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • ½ cup honey
  • ¼ cup hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon ginger grated
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 scallions sliced thin, white and green divided
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • sesame seeds for garnish if desired

Instructions 

  • Place chicken in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together soy sauce, honey, hoisin, vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic and the white parts only of the scallions.
  • Pour the sauce mixture ontop of the chicken and cook for 2-3 hours on low. (Cooking time depends on the thickness of your chicken. My chicken breasts were pretty small and took 2½ hours.)
  • Remove the chicken from the liquid and place on a plate or cutting board. Allow the chicken to rest for a couple of minutes and then shred with two forks or slice it up with a knife.
  • Meanwhile take 3 tablespoons of the liquid out of the slow cooker and pour into a small bowl. Whisk in the cornstarch until smooth and clump free. Slowly add this mixture to the liquid in the slow cooker and whisk until thickened.
  • Add the shredded chicken back to the slow cooker and toss to coat it with the sauce.
  • Serve immediately with sesame seeds and green onions for garnish.
