I probably say this every time I post a crockpot recipe, but I love the crockpot! Seriously…it is my best friend some days.I never really used as much as I do now that I have kids.
Like the other day, when my daughter came home not feeling good, but I had to shuttle kids to various activities after school, and then make a late doctor appointment and my husband was not going to be home until too late to help, and….
Well, I think you get the picture. After all that, we came home to dinner already made. It was amazing. The house smelled good, dinner was on the table in about fifteen minutes and I had happy kids.
This one is good too because it is really a different taste. Sweet and tangy chicken complemented by the slight crunch of toasted sesame seeds sprinkled on the top. It was a hit with the family. I steamed some crisp snow peas to go along with that and…dinner was served.
Crockpot Honey Sesame Chicken Over Rice
4- 6 oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 cup honey
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tblsp cornstarch dissolved in 1/3 cup water
2 tblsp toasted Sesame seeds
2 cups cooked brown rice
Salt and pepper chicken breasts on both sides and place in bottom of crockpot.Sprinkle onions on top of chicken. In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, ketchup, oil, and garlic. Whisk until combined and pour over chicken and onions.
Cook 4 hours on high. Remove chicken from crockpot. Whisk together cornstarch and water. Pour into sauce, cover and cook for 10 minutes. (NOTE: This is when I start steaming my peapods, have my kids set the table, lightly toast the sesame seeds in the oven-350 degrees for 5 minutes- and put a package of Uncle Bens 90 second brown rice in the microwave!) Shred chicken. Return to crockpot and mix with sauce. Sprinkle in toasted sesame seeds. Serve over brown rice.
