Crockpot Honey Sesame Chicken

This Crockpot Honey Sesame Chicken is fabulous. Quick, simple and incredibly delicious. This will become one of your favorites.

Sometimes it’s hard at my house to find something that all five of my boys will like.  I never have to worry about my two oldest, but the three younger ones are PiCkY!!  I can usually get them to at least try stuff, but sometimes even that is a difficult task.

Let me just  say one word about this chicken . . . FABULOUS! It was a huge hit at our house.  The best part is that even my three younger boys loved it. When they ask for seconds I know that I have struck gold and that recipe is a definite keeper.

This Crockpot Honey Sesame Chicken was so simple to throw together and so yummy!  Ignore the fact that there are no sesame seeds sprinkled on mine, I was out.

Note to self: buy sesame seeds one of the next 53 times you will run to the store next week.
