  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the tamari or soy sauce, organic ketchup, honey, chili paste, rice vinegar, and black pepper.
  4. Pour the sauce over the chicken and garlic in the crockpot, ensuring the chicken is well coated.
  5. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  6. About 30 minutes before serving, add the broccoli florets to the crockpot.
  7. Once done, shred the chicken in the sauce, serve it over rice, and top with fresh herbs and toasted sesame seeds.
