Crockpot Honey Sesame Chicken

I am so excited to share this recipe for Crock Pot Honey Sesame Chicken with you! It turned out fabulous! Plus, you can prepare the ingredients for this in advance and place them in a gallon ziploc in the freezer.  When you are ready, just dump it in the crock pot and go! I love meals like that.

This recipe has a great sweet and savory contrast.  My kids loved it! Which makes it a winner in my book! Plus you can use a gluten free soy sauce to make this dish gluten free and dairy free!
