Steps:
- In a storage bag or storage container, add the Chili Sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and 1 tsp of sesame seeds (leave some for garnish). Mix together, then add the raw chicken breasts.
- You can marinade the chicken in the sauce for 1 hour up to 8 hours.
- Preheat a skillet on high and add Olive Oil. Remove the marinated chicken breasts from the marinade using tongs, saving the marinade to cook. Add the chicken breasts to the hot skillet. Sear for 2-3 minutes until the the chicken starts to char. Because of the sugar in the sauce, you need to be careful that the chicken doesn't burn. It's ok to get a little char as that will be lots of flavor.
- Flip the Chicken and sear for another 2-3 minutes. Then add 1/4 cup water and the remaining marinade. Cover the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 F degrees or the chicken feels firm with a little give.
- Uncover, turn off the heat and move the skillet off the hot burner. Let rest for a few minutes. Then remove the chicken and slice it on a bias in 3/4 inch slices. This should give you about 5-6 slices.
- Serve with rice or veggies, spoon some of the sauce on top or serve it on the side. Then garnish with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro leaves.

Steps:
- Add chicken to the bottom of your crockpot. Whisk the Sweet Chili Sesame Sauce ingredients together in a medium bowl. Pour over chicken. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Shred chicken and add 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 1/4 cup water to the crockpot. Stir contents around. Cook on high for 20-30 minutes until sauce thickens. Taste and add Sriracha for spicier, brown sugar for sweeter if desired. Serve with rice and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Notes *You can use frozen chicken breasts but just be aware that they will release more water so you will need to increase the cornstarch in order to thicken the liquid at the end. **Hoisin sauce can be found in the Asian section of your grocery store.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are the best cuts for this recipe. They're lean and cook quickly, so you don't have to worry about overcooking them.
- Use a good quality sesame oil: Sesame oil is a key ingredient in this recipe, so make sure you use a good quality oil that has a rich, nutty flavor.
- Don't overcook the chicken: The chicken should be cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry, so be careful not to cook it for too long.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the chicken is still hot and crispy. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can cook the chicken and sauce separately and then reheat them before serving.

This sweet sesame chili chicken recipe is an easy and delicious weeknight meal that the whole family will love. The chicken is tender and juicy, the sauce is sweet and tangy, and the sesame seeds add a nice crunch. Serve this dish over rice or noodles, and you'll have a complete and satisfying meal.
