Here is a delicious – and deliciously easy – Slow Cooker Sesame Chicken Recipe. You don’t have to be Asian to cook this slow cooker Sesame Chicken Recipe! Nor do you need to stand over the stove or keep a close eye on it. I love slow cooker recipes as I am always on the go, it is hard for me to find the time to squeeze out a delicious meal that doesn’t need constant supervision. 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!

Slow Cooker Sesame Chicken Recipe

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. The preparation time was no more than 15 minutes tops and once in the slow cooker I started in with the house chores.

The house was clean and the food was ready! I could hardly wait (my stomach was growling). Talk about scrumptious! Each bite offered a taste of it all, The sweetness of the honey, the tang of the soy sauce, the kick of the garlic and green onion…I will definitely be making this dish more often! It also looks so pretty on the plate, especially with the sesame seeds and green onions…it just adds that final touch.

This was much more cost efficient than ordering out especially with the usual minimum amount to place an order, and I believe that it is much more fresh as well. I mean, there’s nothing better than a home cooked meal am I right? I ate my meal with chopsticks (yes I was brave), but you can use a fork just the same so long as you enjoy this meal and I am quite sure you will!

Please feel free to share this with your loved ones, believe me they will thank you later!

Are you looking for other Slow Cooker and Instant Pot recipes? I have a few really simply, but tasty ones on The Rebel Chick! 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!
