Slow Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken

Slow Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken

Hey! It pretty much feels like I've been gone for ages at the moment. The past few days have been so crazy! I mentioned that we decided to move out to Florida. It was sudden, really sudden. In less than a few weeks we decided to move and made the plans. I still can't believe we're doing it. We've sent our belongings off on a moving truck and we're driving down. As I sit here in a hotel in Baltimore, I'm really grateful that a friend was able to help me share a scrumptious and healthy chicken recipe with you for your slow cooker. I absolutely can't wait to get to our new home... and play around in our fabulous new kitchen!

DIRECTIONS:

Let's start by setting your Slow Cooker on low. In a medium bowl, combine honey, ketchup, soy sauce, oil, garlic and red pepper. Whisk until combined. Pour in bottom of slow cooker. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Place in slow cooker. Cover and cook for 3 ½ hours.

Prepare rice according to package directions. In a hurry? Instant rice is perfect too! Leaving sauce in slow cooker, remove chicken and shred. Now set that aside for just a minute. Do not return to slow cooker.

Warm water in microwave (do not boil) In a small bowl, whisk in corn starch. Toss that mixture into slow cooker with honey sauce and mix to incorporate well. Turn slow cooker to high and allow sauce to heat for 5-10 minutes. It will now be a nice thick glaze. Return chicken to pot and mix. Let warm for 5 minutes, covered. Grab 4 bowls and fill with cooked rice. Spoon chicken and honey sauce over rice. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Garnish with green onions.

Serve warm. ENJOY!

I'll be enjoying lots of junky fast food on the rest of our road trip, but once we settle in... it's back to the good homemade stuff 🙂

Talk you you soon! When I post again, I'll be in a much warmer place!

What’s the point of the onion? I see green onion but what about the other?

I'm all over this. With the increasing madness of kids activities and 3 little whirlwinds home all the time, we've been trying to do the slow cooker more. I will get the family to love oriental food as much as I do.
