Crock Pot Sesame Chicken
Crock Pot Sesame Chicken
Crockpot sesame chicken brings takeout flavor home with almost no effort. Tender pieces of chicken slow-cook in a sweet-savory sauce of soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and fresh ginger until they’re juicy and soaked through with flavor. A sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds adds a nutty crunch to finish. Serve it over steamed rice or noodles with a side of broccoli for an easy weeknight dinner that tastes like a restaurant favorite.
