Honey Sesame Chicken

The other day we had some friends over for dinner to celebrate a birthday. However, I knew I wasn't going to get home from work until about 7, so I didn't want to spend much time preparing dinner. Yet, I also wanted to prepare something a little healthier and impressive than KD. Therefore, I pulled my handy dandy Crock Pot out of the cupboard and made Honey Sesame Chicken, another Pintrest find. It took no time at all to prepare, and once we finished work all I had left to do was prepare some rice, shred the chicken, and pull out the prepared salad and fresh veggies.
