This Sesame Chicken is so simple and delicious, slow cooked for ultimate flavor and tenderness in your crockpot, takeout fakeout at its best! I love that you only need a few drops of sesame oil to bring out that amazing flavor. I served this over quinoa but you could eat it plain if you prefer. I also added steamed green beans for a veggie and left out the traditional cornstarch-enhanced sauce; we didn’t miss it.
