Slow Cooker Sesame Chicken Recipe

I decided to make this dish after realizing the house could not clean itself, and I knew I had to do a lot of spring cleaning. 

I was in the mood for something Asian like, and my all time favorite when ordering out is honey garlic chicken hands down! 

You can swap chicken breasts for a boneless, skinless chicken thigh as well. I opted to use boneless skinless chicken breast as I already had some in the freezer, and omitted the crushed red pepper as heat doesn’t always agree with me.

I love One Pot Meals or Slow Cooker Meals because we don’t currently have a dishwasher, and it makes my life so much easier when I have fewer dishes to wash after cooking dinner!

I mean, who really ENJOYS washing the dishes after cooking? This is part of the reason why I love using my Slow Cooker – one dirty dish is all I have to clean up after I am done cooking!

Of course, not everything needs to be cooked in the slow cooker, and that is where a Skillet or big pot comes in handy!
