Crockpot Sesame Chicken

So I found this recipe through Pinterest, as many recipes are now a days, and immediately wanted to try it. I love sesame chicken, and there is a place in my hometown of Cameron park, CA that has the BEST Sesame Chicken! (Shout outs to Shanghai) But can this recipe even compare to my all time favorite? At Shanghai I do beleive the chicken is fried before its covered in the amazing mouth watering sauce, this recipe is not fried but cooked in the crockpot, healthier? Yes, but good? We will see. So its off to the crockpot I go....

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts This is enough to feed my family of four
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons diced onion
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 cloves garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
3 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 4 Tablespoons water
Sesame seeds
Season both sides of chicken with lightly with salt and pepper, put into crock pot. In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, onion, ketchup, oil, garlic and pepper flakes. Pour over chicken.
Cook on low for 3-4 hours or on high 1 1/2 – 2 1/2 hours, or just until chicken is cooked through.
Remove chicken from crock pot, leave sauce. Dissolve 3 teaspoons of cornstarch in 4 tablespoons of water and pour into crock pot. Stir to combine with sauce.
Replace lid and cook sauce on high for ten more minutes or until slightly thickened.
Cut chicken into bite size pieces, then return to pot and toss with sauce before serving.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve over rice or noodles.
