Slow Cooker Sesame Chicken

October 10, 2012 by Tanya

Crockpot Sesame Chicken | www.EatLaughPurr.com

I’ve had this recipe ready to go for some time, but I’ve held it back—not because it tastes bad. It’s very yummy. But because I made it when Emeril was still alive. It hurt too much to write a post extolling the virtues of this dish when my heart was broken.

I can’t say my heart is healed, but it’s on the mend. Thanks to Max. Thanks to time. And thanks to my many cherished memories of Emeril.

While Emeril took no notice of this dish (he thought human food was gross), I sure did. It was super simple to make and delicious too. Honestly, it takes less time to whip this together than ordering takeout and having it delivered. And it’s probably better for you too! 😀
