crock pot sesame chicken

1 1/2 pound boneless/skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons dried onion
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 3 Tablespoons water
Sesame seeds
Put chicken into crock pot.
Combine honey, soy sauce, onion, ketchup, oil, and garlic. Pour over chicken.
Cook on low for 3-4 hours or on high 1 1/2 – 2 1/2 hours, or just until chicken is cooked through.
Remove chicken from crock pot, leave sauce.
Dissolve 2 teaspoons of cornstarch in 3 tablespoons of water and pour into crock pot. Stir to combine with sauce. Replace lid and cook sauce on high for ten more minutes or until slightly thickened.
Cut chicken into bite size pieces and return to crock pot - can leave chicken in and simmer on low or serve.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve over rice.

Alternate suggestion: Too long a process for chick breasts.. Cube the raw breasts...mix the sauce ingredients.....cook chicken in skillet for ten minutes.....pour the sauce. over the Chicken. include perhaps a little pineapple juice and the cornstarch . Cook till thicken and garnish with green onion and sesame seeds. Voila...15 minutes done from scratch.

Another idea: leave out the sesame seeds and add orange juice - now you've got orange chicken!
