Crock Pot Honey Sesame Chicken Recipe

Crock Pot Honey Sesame Chicken Recipe

• 3-4 Boneless/Skinless Chicken breasts
• Pepper
• 1/2 white onion, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 C honey
• 1/2 C low sodium soy sauce (again all you GF readers, make sure to check the bottles!)
• Approx. 2 tbs olive oil
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/3 C water
• 3 scallions- chopped
• sesame seeds
• quinoa (or brown rice)

1. Lightly season chicken with pepper and place in crockpot
2. Combine onion, garlic, honey, soy sauce, oil, and pepper over the chicken.
3. Cook on low for 6 hours **I was really worried about this drying out the chicken because her recipe is different but I didn’t have much choice with how my day played out. With all the sauce, it ended up being great and just falling apart!
4. After about 4 hours I added in some water to the crock pot and after 6 just turned it to the “warm” setting before I ran out to my next appointment
5. Remove chicken and shred into bite-size pieces (here you can either set aside or put back into the sauce)
6. Prepare quinoa according to directions on package
7. Serve quinoa onto plates, top with chicken and spoon sauce on top.
8. Sprinkle sesame seeds and the chopped scallions over the top
