The easy and delicious recipe for Gluten Free Honey and Sesame Slow Cooker Chicken that makes tender, succulent chicken, that is full of flavour!
So today is the first day that the weather has turned from beautiful, sunny days to cold, wet and dreary ones.
I love summer – the sunshine, the long days and the opportunities to do things after work….but I do love the colder weather as well – the warm delicious comfort food, cosy clothes and … snuggling in front of the heater watching a great movie or TV shows like House of Cards or Game of Thrones!!
( yes, ‘winter is coming’ for all those GOT fans).
This recipe is easy, as you simply add a layer of sliced onions on the base of the slow cooker,lay the chicken thighs on top and mix together the ingredients such as honey, soy sauce (gluten free one) and sesame seeds and pour over the chicken.
(See below for the ingredients)
I am writing this recipe on my iPad, sitting in front of the TV, all cosy and comfortable and feeling great, as dinner is slowing cooking away.
No need to watch or stir but just relax for 2 hours
( yes, I could be doing ironing but this is waaaayyyyy better! 😉
The next best part is that it can be served with rice or with vegetables or salad.
It really is very versatile, tastes great and it is fantastic to take the leftovers for work tomorrow.

- 5 chicken thighs
- 1 onion sliced
- 3/4 cup of honey

- 1 teaspoon of minced garlic

How to make Gluten Free Honey and Sesame Slow Cooker Chicken!
- Slice the onions and lay them down on the base of the slow cooker.
- Place the chicken thighs on top of the onions.
- To make the Honey and Sesame Sauce simply, in a bowl, add the honey, soy sauce, tomato sauce, garlic, pepper, olive oil, dried chilli flakes, oregano and 1/2 teaspoon of sesame seeds. Stir to combine.
TIP (If your honey is a bit hard to stir, simply put the honey in the microwave for 20 seconds so that the honey melts and then it is easier to mix and pour.)
- Pour over the chicken and cook in the slow cooker for 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours on high. (or 4 hours on slow)
- You can serve this, with plenty of juice or you can have it thicker by adding 1/2 tablespoon of corn flour and then heat through until it is thicker.
- Top with remaining sesame seeds, fresh chopped chives and serve it on rice.
