CROCK POT SESAME CHICKEN
On busy crazy days, it is soooo nice to come home to this
April
Sesame Chicken for slow cooker
1 1/2 pound boneless/skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons dried onion
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 3 Tablespoons water
Sesame seeds
Put chicken into crock pot.
Combine honey, soy sauce, onion, ketchup, oil, and garlic. 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 2 teaspoons of cornstarch in 3 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 and return to crock pot - can leave chicken in and simmer on low or serve.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve over rice.

I was very excited to try this recipe. Unfortunately, it didn't really taste like sesame chicken. I probably won't be making this again.
ReplyDeleteRebecca, I don't think that I've ever tasted true "Sesame" chicken. But my family DID enjoy it! We gobbled it right up! It reminded me more of "Teriyaki" chicken, instead. ;)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the idea for this website, but how do I pin it? I don't see a button...
ReplyDeleteKate, there are a few options available to you:
ReplyDelete1. Click on the URL of the recipe or tip you want to pin. Then, login to your Pinterest acct. Inside Pinterest, go to the board you want to pin this recipe to, and click the option to "Add a pin" on the L side of the board. It will popup a window with some options. Tell it that you want to pin "from a website" (middle option). Then, paste the URL that you just copied.
2. The easier way to do it is to use the "bookmarklet", as described here:

I have this little link saved in bookmark row on my browser window. Sure does make things easier. :)
Toasted Sesame oil is sort of a must have in sesame chicken, most usually have some type vinigar in it also. I would adapt the sauce more like this http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/sesame-chicken-recipe/index.html or this http://www.browneyedbaker.com/2013/02/27/sesame-chicken-recipe/ and try it again.
