Tips:

Use a good quality soy sauce. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for a soy sauce that is naturally brewed and has a deep, rich flavor. Remember, not all soy sauces are created equal.
Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is a delicate meat, and it can easily become dry and tough if it is overcooked. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, no longer. You can use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of chicken, it should read at 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Use fresh vegetables. Fresh vegetables will give your dish the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh vegetables on hand, you can use frozen vegetables. Just be sure to thaw them before using.
Serve immediately. This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The chicken will be crispy and the vegetables will be tender. If you need to make the dish ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just reheat it before serving.

Conclusion:

This Gluten-Free Slow Cooker Sweet Sesame Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for a busy weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is sweet and tangy. Serve it over rice or noodles, and you have a complete meal that the whole family will enjoy.
