Ingredients

4 servings

For the chicken

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1 ½-inch pieces
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper

For the sauce

⅓ cup hoisin sauce
¼ cup soy sauce
3 tbsp rice vinegar
3 tbsp honey
Chef's tip
Use the same amount. Maple syrup is a little thinner and less sticky than honey.
2 tbsp tomato paste
Ingredient note
A serving of up to about 1 2/3 tablespoons of tomato paste is low in FODMAPs. This recipe contains only about 1 1/2 teaspoons per serving, making it likely Low FODMAP. If you prefer to always avoid tomato paste, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 tbsp sesame oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
Chef's tip
Swap it in for an equal amount of the oil or butter the recipe cooks with - do not add it on top of the existing fat.
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
1 tsp red pepper flakes

For thickening

3 tbsp cornstarch
3 tbsp cold water

For serving

2 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
2 green onions, thinly sliced (optional)
Can be omitted
green onions
4 cups cooked white rice, for serving

Instructions

1
Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then arrange them in an even layer in the slow cooker.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, tomato paste, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes until smooth. Pour the sauce over the chicken.
