Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients together for the sauce besides the cornstarch and water. Set the sauce to the side.
Cut in the chicken breast into bite sized pieces. Beat the eggs in a bowl. Place the flour, and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Mix the flour to make sure the salt and pepper are evenly distributed. Dip the chicken pieces into the egg, then into the flour. Make sure each piece of chicken coated well. Shake off any excess flour. Move the chicken into another bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Make sure each piece of chicken is coated with olive oil
Plug in your crockpot and place the chicken bites into the cooking pot. I cooked the chicken in two batches to make sure not to overcrowd the cooking pot. Place the crisping lid onto the pot. Set the timer to 10 minutes. Once the timer goes off, carefully remove the lid and flip the chicken. Then cook for 10 minutes on the other side.
Heat a large frying pan (preferably with high sides) over medium heat. Then add the sauce mixture into the pan. Mix the cornstarch and water. Once the sauce starts bubbling, stir in the cornstarch and water mixture. Add the chicken into the pan and toss until coated in sauce.
