Description

Ingredients

• 16-ounces skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
• 3/4-cup low-sugar orange preserves ( I like to use the one with pulp in the preserves; adds texture )
• 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger, or to taste (I use just a little less than 1/8 teaspoon in mine)
• toasted sesame seeds

Directions

• Lightly grease crock pot insert with cooking spray.
• Place chicken breasts on the bottom of the crock pot, one next to another, and season with salt and pepper.
• In a mixing bowl, combine orange preserves, soy sauce, garlic and ginger; mix until combined.
• Spoon or pour over the chicken.
• Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours, or on HIGH for 3 hours.
• In the meantime, prepare the sesame seeds.
• In a frying pan, heat the sesame seeds over medium heat, shaking the pan frequently, cooking just until fragrant; about 30 seconds. Set aside.
• Remove chicken from slow cooker and transfer to a plate.
• Spoon the orange sauce over chicken.
• Garnish with sesame seeds and serve.
