Recipe ThursdayZ | Crockpot Sesame Chicken

 
This week’s recipe  |  CROCKPOT SESAME CHICKEN
Sesame Chicken is my all-time favorite chinese food and while I definitely prefer the restaurant version (especially Ming’s Garden), sometimes a little less fried food is a good thing.  So here is a slightly healthier version that you can make in your crockpot!

Yields 8-10 servings

There are lots of versions of “Haystacks.” Many of them include a more polynesian feel with pineapple. But I prefer this more homestyle version!
