Ingredients
1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 medium red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
1 medium yellow bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
1 medium green bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 cups broccoli florets
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, chicken broth, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and crushed red pepper flakes until well combined.
Place the cut chicken pieces in the slow cooker.
Add the sliced red, yellow, and green bell peppers, sliced onion, and broccoli florets on top of the chicken.
Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables in the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender but still crisp.
About 15 minutes before serving, in a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry.
Stir the cornstarch slurry into the slow cooker to thicken the sauce.
Cover and cook on high for an additional 15 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
Stir gently to combine, then serve the stir fry over cooked rice or noodles.
Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
