I mentioned these last few weeks that I have been using the slow cooker frequently! Did you know you can cook just about anything in it? Just do a few Google searches and you will find that you can!
This week I decided to try the Sesame Ginger Chicken from Cooking Light. At first when my husband and I tried the chicken we thought it was just “okay”, then when we poured the sauce over it that just turned it into “delicious”. There wasn’t a bite left! We gobbled it up! I love that it took me just minutes to prepare. I prepped it in the slow cooker the night before then just started cooking it before we left for school in the morning.
When we were ready for dinner I simply made some rice and topped the chicken and sauce over the rice! It was quick, easy and delicious!
I love making Asian inspired meals at home because I can control the sauces I use. Being gluten free it is extremely difficult to eat out at Asian restaurants because of the gluten in the sauces. I think my husband’s wish is that Panda Express would come out with something gluten free. He is having withdrawals because we hardly eat there since I can’t! I’ll just keep it to myself that I prefer to make my own anyway regardless if I could eat there or not!
Now are you ready for this slow cooker dinner?
Get those slow cookers ready!
Enjoy!
