Sesame chicken is a classic takeout dish that is sweet and tangy. It can be easily made in the slow cooker for a simple and delicious meal. Here are some tips for making sesame chicken in the slow cooker:

  • Use fresh, boneless, and skinless chicken breasts or thighs. Frozen chicken can be used, but it will need to be thawed before cooking.
  • Chicken breasts can be substituted with thighs if desired. Thighs are generally a bit more flavorful, but they can be fattier than breast meat.
  • Use a slow cooker that is at least 4-quarts in size. This will allow the chicken to cook evenly and prevent it from overcrowding the pot.
  • Adding a little bit of cornstarch or arrowroot powder will help to thicken the chicken and the peanut butter. This will make the final result easier to eat.
  • Serve sesame chicken with rice or noodles, and sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish.

Conclusion:

Sesame chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great option for a busy weeknight meal or for a party. The slow cooker makes it easy to prepare this dish ahead of time, so you can come home to a hot and delicious meal after a long day. I hope you enjoy this recipe!
