Chicken in Honey Sauce




Slow-cooker meals are a necessity at times. Today was one of those days. This is the first time I've made this recipe and we loved it. I served it with steamed rice and stir-fry veggies.

Chicken in Honey Sauce
makes 6 servings
Rival Crockpot Cookbook

6 boneless chicken breasts (about a pound and a half)
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups honey
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
sesame seeds

Place chicken in slow cooker; season with salt and pepper. Combine remaining ingredients, except sesame seeds, in medium bowl. Pour over chicken. cover, cook on LOW 6-8 hours or High 3 to 4 hours. Garnish with sesame seeds before serving. serve extra sauce on side, if desired.

**After making this meal, next time I will do it on Low for 5 hours.

Also, the buttons on the side for Apples&Thyme and Festa Italiana, are open to anyone. If you think you might be interested in the slightest, give them a read over.
Happy Monday night to all!

It is the second day of March!! It seems the year is already flying by. In a few short months the kids will be out of school and I will hear the sweetest words of "Mom, I'm Bored!!", about 100 times a day. It doesn't matter what you plan, or how many crafts you do, those words inevitably are uttered throughout the day. Once, at the theatre,my daughter leaned over and asked what we were doing next because the movie had gotten boring to her! Sigh….I think it is good for them to be bored once in while. On the occasion that she approaches me with her "BORED" dilemma, usually elbow deep in cleaning the bathtub, I tell her to go entertain her dolls until I am through. She sighs and wonders off. I have found that through "entertaining" her dolls her room has transformed into a magical kingdom. And she is lost in a fairytale story of her own making. I quietly tiptoe away and begin another chore. Of course this repeats itself once I am in the middle of said chore, but hey, I think being bored actually encourages their imagination.

***I also want to add that I came across a fantastic site Apples&Thyme. Please check it out. ***
