Asian Sesame Chicken {Easy Slow Cooker Recipe}

With slow cooked, tender chicken and lots of vegetables, this Asian Sesame Chicken goes a long way, on a little budget!

It seems just like yesterday when I was stuck in the hustle and bustle of life. I was working full time, forty minutes from home. We had one child in school and one who was blessed to be cared for by my mom. Both girls were in activities and our schedule left little time to get home, make a meal and get out of the door. Slow cooker meals became a staple for us, as it allowed for home cooked meals without a lot of active time in the kitchen. But, my rotational slow cooker meals became boring, and we needed something new, and different.

I scoured the internet for slow cooker recipes that we hadn’t already tried, that I could leave for a full 8-10 hours and didn’t require a lot of preparation beforehand. I wish I could remember the blogger who shared this recipe, so I could give her the credit because this recipe quickly became a favorite, set it-and-forget it meal. Although I am now a full-time mom, and blogger, I still make this recipe on days I anticipate a busy day, or when I just need a break from hands-on cooking.

why I love this recipe

There is no beforehand prep needed. This recipe is truly amazing on busy mornings when you have less than 5 minutes! No chopping, dicing, mincing or searing needed. Just add the chicken, pour in your dressing, set the slow cooker and get out the door.

A little goes a long way. With just a pound of chicken, and lots of vegetables, I can stretch this recipe, saving the other chicken breast for another meal. With today’s food prices, we could all use budget friendly meals!
