Slow Cooker Sesame Chicken

This slow cooker Sesame Chicken recipe caught my eye when I was searching for some clean recipes that I could make after walking by PF Chang's at the mall last weekend. It smelled so good so I came home and started searching. The Gracious Pantry is one of my favorite websites for clean recipes and this one didn't disappoint. I tweaked it a little and this is what I came up with!

Slow Cooker Sesame Chicken
Adapted from The Gracious Pantry (www.thegraciouspantry.com)

4 garlic cloves, minced
4 tbsp. dried chopped onions
2 tbsp. sesame oil
2 tbsp. tamari
1/4 cup honey
1/2 tsp. freshly grated ginger
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
2 tbsp. tomato paste
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 tsp. cornstarch
2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp. toasted sesame seeds
Brown rice for serving

In a large resealable plastic bag mix together the garlic, onion, sesame oil, tamari, honey, ginger, red pepper flakes, tomato paste, water and cornstarch. Mix well. Add the chicken breasts to the bag, remove the air from the bag and seal. Turn the bag around so that all of the chicken is coated in the marinade. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Pour the chicken and all of the marinade into a slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for about 4 hours, until chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken from the cooker and chop up. Serve the chicken over brown rice with some of the sauce poured on top. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
