Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
- Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the slow cooker by lightly greasing the insert with non-stick cooking spray.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper to taste, then place them in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, ketchup, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk until well combined.
- Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 4-5 hours or on high heat for 2-3 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Once the chicken is cooked, carefully remove it from the slow cooker and place it on a serving platter. Tent with foil to keep warm.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Pour the slurry into the sauce remaining in the slow cooker and stir well to combine.
- Cover the slow cooker again and cook on high heat for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Pour the thickened sauce over the chicken breasts, garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired, and serve hot.
