Ingredients
Scale

- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp cold water
- ½ tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 green onion, sliced
Instructions

- Prepare Crockpot: Spray the crockpot insert with nonstick spray.
- Arrange Chicken: Arrange the chicken in an even layer in the bottom of the crockpot.
- Coat Chicken: Pour the sauce over the chicken and toss to coat.
- Cook: Cover and cook the chicken on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4-5 hours, until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.

Always start with thawed chicken. Use a mild, pourable honey for better blending. To add vegetables, add root vegetables like carrots at the start, and softer vegetables like broccoli during the last 30-60 minutes.
