Creating Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken is simple and straightforward. Follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place them in the slow cooker.
2. Mix the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, ginger (if using), and sesame oil until well combined.
3. Add Sauce to Chicken: Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated.
4. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
