Crock Pot Honey Sesame Chicken

I haven’t been around for a while! Let me explain, I am graduating from college, looking for a job, and full-time student teaching.  Yeah, I’m a tad busy.  However, today I am here to share one of my favorite recipes with you! It is a crock pot recipe for honey sesame chicken and it is just plain amazing! 

While I was home, I made this awesome Crock Pot Honey Sesame Chicken.  It is super tasty and it was super easy to make.  This is what I’m bringing for lunch today! While I was home, I made little sandwiches for myself.  Then, I left a bunch at home for my mom and dad and took some leftovers back with me to Madison!  The chicken is juicy, tasty, and sweet! It is perfect as a sandwich or for dinner served with some sort of side!
