Instructions
  1. Begin by placing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of your crockpot.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the low sodium soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth.
  3. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken in the crockpot, ensuring all pieces are well coated.
  4. Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 4 hours until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  5. After the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the chicken and shred it.
  6. Mix cornstarch with a couple of tablespoons of water to create a slurry and stir into the remaining sauce.
  7. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot, toss with sauce and serve over sticky rice or noodles, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.
