Back in the days, when I was a kid, I was quite obsessed with the smell of sesame seeds. It smells woody with a hint of caramel on it. One of our neighbors used to put sesame seeds in everything she cooked. She put them on biscuits, on pies, on cakes, and on main course dishes. Mom was amused, but she patronized me all the time by putting sesame seeds on some of the dishes I love. Sesame chicken has always been one of my favorite food; and my family now seems to love it too.
Check out what our friends from Shockingly Delicious have to say about this recipe:
“A low-salt marinade is used to make a flavorful teriyaki glaze for Crock-Pot chicken, for an Asian-influenced dinner.”
That’s healthier than most recipes. Also, it’s probably the easiest sesame chicken you will ever make- crockpot has always made our lives easier, hasn’t it? Don’t let this dish run out from you- make this for your family now so they’ll experience the taste of it.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds Tyson boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 5 thighs)
- 9 tablespoons Mrs. Dash Sweet Teriyaki Marinade, divided use
- Slurry: 2 teaspoons Argo cornstarch mixed into 2 teaspoons water
- Garnish: Sesame seeds, chopped green onions or chives
Instructions
- Mist inside of crock with nonstick spray. Lay chicken pieces in the crock, and top with 6 tablespoons of the marinade. Spread it over the chicken, close the lid and cook on LOW for about 5 hours. The chicken will release juice over this time, so the juices will accumulate in the crock with the marinade.
- When chicken is done, remove it to another plate, and pour juices from crock into a small sauce pan. Bring juice to a boil, and then add slurry of cornstarch and water, stirring while adding. Bring it back to a boil; it will thicken. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of the marinade to the thickened juices, and boil for about 30 seconds or so.
- Put the chicken atop cooked rice, shredded Napa cabbage or your choice of “bed,” and pour thick teriyaki over. Sprinkle with chopped chives and sesame seeds, for pretty.
