If you like saving money, saving time, and having five meals’ worth of sesame chicken, this is the recipe for you.

What you’ll need:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 diced onion
• 2 chopped up cloves garlic
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 4 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1/3 cup water
• chopped green onion (optional; garnish)
• sesame seeds (optional; garnish)
• veggies of your choice (optional)
• fried rice, rice, or quinoa for a side dish

This is how you do it:

1. Pop your chicken in the slow cooker and season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. In a bowl, combine onion, garlic, honey, ketchup, soy sauce, and oil. Pour over chicken. Cook on low for 3-4 hours, or high for 2 hours.
3. Remove chicken to a cutting board, leaving sauce. Shred chicken into bite-sized pieces; set aside. If using, prepare quinoa or rice according to package instructions and steam vegetables.
4. In a small bowl, dissolve 4 teaspoons cornstarch in 1/3 cup water; add to crock pot. Stir to combine with sauce. For good luck, at this point I tossed in a small handful of brown sugar and a few squirts of sesame oil that I had laying around. Cover and cook sauce on high for ten more minutes, or until slightly thickened.
5. Add shredded chicken back into sauce. Serve over rice/quinoa, top with steamed veggies, scallions, and sesame seeds.
