Ingredients
-
2 Tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
3 Tablespoons honey
2 Tablespoons lite soy sauce
2 Tablespoons hoisin sauce
3 slices peeled fresh ginger, about 1/4 inch thick
3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 Tablespoon sesame oil
1 1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons cold water
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
Directions
1. In a large bowl, combine the orange juice concentrate, honey, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil and mix well. Pour half the sauce into the bottom of a slow cooker that has been lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Layer the uncooked chicken breasts on top and top with remaining sauce.
2. Cover and cook on LOW 6 hours.
3. Remove chicken from slow cooker and set aside; keep warm.
4. Meanwhile, Pour liquid from slow cooker through a fine-mesh strainer and into a saucepan over medium heat. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and cold water and mix well. Once the sauce is simmering to a low boil, mix in the cornstarch mixture and stir constantly until the sauce mixture thickens, about 3 minutes.
5. Place each chicken breast on a place and spoon sauce over the top. Top with a sprinkling of sesame seeds and serve immediately.
