Slow Cooker Orange Sesame Chicken

Crock-Pot Orange Sesame Chicken is a tangy and savory way to make chicken. Our family really the flavor and taste and although it had a lot of ingredients I actually had them all on hand, which I always appreciate.

We served this cooked chicken and sauce over rice that I made in my rice cooker. And some simple steamed broccoli and cauliflower florets. Everyone really raved over this one and have asked that I make it again soon.

Which I will for sure!

The dish had a distinct dark color because I used pomegranate rice vinegar, but a lighter colored rice vinegar will likely give you a more orange or red color to your sauce.

Enjoy!


Equipment Needed For Crock-Pot Orange Sesame Chicken Recipe:

  • 5 Quart, 5.5 Quart, 6 Quart, 6.5 Quart Or 7 Quart Slow Cooker
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Liquid Measuring Cup
  • Dry Measuring Cups And Spoons
  • Microplane
  • Citrus Press Juicer
  • Tongs
  • Aluminum Foil

Common Questions:

Can I Use Other Cuts Of Chicken Meat In This Recipe?

While this recipe for Orange Sesame Chicken calls for boneless skinless chicken breasts you could easily use chicken thighs or a combination of chicken breasts and thighs. Chicken thighs are dark meat and as such have more fat in them, so you will need to adjust the nutritional information if you decide to use thighs.

What Is The Best Way To Serve This Chicken Recipe?

I think the chicken and yummy sauce is fantastic when served over cooked jasmine rice that has been either cooked on the stove-top or in a rice cooker. Then I like to steam up some frozen veggies to go on the side or to mix into the chicken before serving.

Prep Time 15Minutes
Cook Time 4 - 6Hours On LOW + 1 Hour On HIGH
Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, orange juice, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, orange zest, red pepper flakes, ginger and black pepper.
  2. In a 5 quart or larger slow cooker add the chicken and sauce and toss with tongs to coat all of the chicken in the sauce.
  3. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours.
  4. When the chicken is fully cooked, carefully remove the chicken from the slow cooker (it will fall apart into chunks) and place in a glass or metal dish and cover with aluminum foil to keep it warm.
  5. Add the cornstarch to the sauce that is still in the slow cooker and whisk it into the sauce.
  6. Add the chicken back into the slow cooker breaking up any remaining chicken that is in large chunks into smaller pieces. Make sure the sauce surrounds the chicken as best as you can.
  7. Re-cover the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 1 hours or until the sauce thickens.
  8. While the sauce is thickening is a good time to prepare your rice, noodles or anything you are serving with the chicken.
  9. Sprinkle sesame seeds over chicken when ready to serve.
Recipe Notes

Gluten Free Notes: Look for gluten free options when shopping for soy sauce (we like San-J brand) as well as rice vinegar (we like NAKANO brand). The rest of the ingredients should be naturally gluten free. But with any recipe it is always a good idea to read the nutritional information on all ingredient packaging to make sure.

To make clean up easier you may wish to either line your slow cooker with a slow cooker liner or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
