This was my Mother's Day dinner that my hubby made for me this year. It was a decent meal and I didn't have to cook it! Even better! We did realize that the honey was a little too much though and might try 3/4 cup next time. We didn't add all of the pepper it called for and will do more next time as well. Our sauce didn't quite thicken as well as we would have liked, so add more cornstarch. Good paired with brown rice and steamed green beans with coconut oil.

CROCK POT HONEY SESAME CHICKEN
recipe form: Baby Center
(we doubled the original recipe, and even then we still wanted more! This is the doubled recipe)
2.5 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (thighs would be fine too)
Salt and pepper
1 cup honey
1/2 cup soy sauce
4 tablespoons diced onion
4 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoon canola oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
4 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 6 Tablespoons water
Sesame seeds
Season both sides of chicken with lightly with salt and pepper, put into
crock pot. In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, onion, ketchup,
oil, garlic and pepper flakes. Pour over chicken.
Cook on low for 3-4 hours or on high 1 1/2 – 2 1/2 hours, or just until chicken is cooked through.
Remove chicken from crock pot, leave sauce. Dissolve 4 teaspoons of
cornstarch in 6 tablespoons of water and pour into crock pot. Stir to
combine with sauce.
Replace lid and cook sauce on high for ten more minutes or until slightly thickened.
Cut chicken into bite size pieces, then return to pot and toss with sauce before serving.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve over rice or noodles.
