Honey Sesame Chicken

I found this recipe on Pinterest, and knew I had to try it.  We love different Asian recipes with rice.  The chicken has a nice flavor (not distinctly honey which is perfect), and the sauce makes the rice delicious!  Derrick says we should make this again!

Ingredients
6-8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or 4 chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup diced onion (I left this out)

2 cloves garlic, minced (I left this out)

1 cup honey
1/4 cup ketchup

 1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 teaspoons cornstarch

 1/3 cup water
4 servings minute rice
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.  I just left them in all day on low since we were at work.

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

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.
