Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Crockpot Sesame Chicken
  1. In your crockpot, combine sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Pour in coconut aminos, pineapple juice, chicken bone broth, and rice vinegar. Add salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir well to blend.
  2. Place the chicken breasts into the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce to absorb flavors.
  3. Cover the crockpot and set on Low for 4 to 6 hours. Check for doneness at around 4 hours; it should shred easily.
  4. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and shred into bite-sized pieces.
  5. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot, add lime juice and tahini, stir until well blended.
  6. Serve over jasmine rice or with broccolini, garnished with sesame seeds.
