This Slow Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken is tender, juicy and then some! The sauce is made with ingredients you may already have in your kitchen and comes together with just a few stirs. Thanks to the slow cooker, the sauce gets thick and sticky, resembling that takeout favorite of yours.

If you plan on feeding a bigger crowd, add more chicken to the recipe but just be sure to increase the quantities of the sauce ingredients to accommodate the added amount. When in doubt, more sauce is better than too little.

Serve with a side of steamed broccoli, over zucchini noodles, or over a bed of cauliflower rice for a healthy, well-rounded meal.

Pro Tip: If you have time, you can marinate the chicken overnight to really make the flavors pop!
