mhmm monday

Um, wait a minute, isn't today Tuesday?

Yes, yes, I do know that today is Tuesday and that my “mhmm” is a bit late ~ sorry about that, had a slight change in yesterdays plans... Mondays are usually a day at home to recover from the weekend and get back on track with meal making which is why I like to keep posting the Monday mhmm. But Krystle had a consult early in the morning and she finds it easier with two of us at the centre.

So today's mhmm comes from this website, not a soup recipe but delicious just the same.


Crock Pot Honey Sesame Chicken

Ingredients:
6-8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or 4 chicken breasts
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup ketchup
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 teaspoons cornstarch
1/3 cup water
2 packets minute rice, optional
1/2 tablespoon (or more) sesame seeds
3 scallions, chopped

Directions:
Place chicken in Crock Pot and lightly season both sides with salt and pepper.
In a medium bowl, combine onion, garlic, honey, ketchup, soy sauce, oil and red pepper flakes. Pour over chicken. Cook on low for 3-4 hours, or high for 2 hours.
Remove chicken to a cutting board, leaving sauce. Shred chicken into bite-sized pieces; set aside. Prepare rice according to package instructions.
In a small bowl, dissolve 4 teaspoons cornstarch in 1/3 cup water; add to crock pot. Stir to combine with sauce. Cover and cook sauce on high for ten more minutes, or until slightly thickened.
Add cooked rice to 4 plates, top with chicken and spoon sauce over top. Sprinkle evenly with sesame seeds and chopped scallions.
Enjoy!


Blessings
