The crock pot makes weeknight cooking SO.MUCH.EASIER. What's better than having dinner ready when you walk in the door from work??We love anything with an oriental flare and I came across this Sesame Chicken recipe on Me and My Belly Blog and came up with something similar with the ingredients I had on hand! This was QUICK, EASY and when the hubs & the toddler like it... it will go down on the dinner rotation list!
Next time I make this recipe I will definitely DOUBLE it because there were barely any leftovers... and mama loves leftovers!!!
