I like meals that I can throw into my slow cooker, as well as meals that I can freeze and pull out for later. This Honey Sesame Chicken recipe is a crock pot meal and it can also be placed in a freezer bag and frozen for a later meal. Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts, boneless skinless

- Cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
- When finished, remove chicken from crock pot and leave the sauce.

- FREEZER MEAL:
- To make this a freezer meal, place all of the ingredients in a Ziploc gallon freezer bag. Be sure to dissolve the cornstarch in water before placing it in the bag with the other ingredients. Mix everything together, close the bag and freeze.
- When ready to eat, remove the bag from the freezer and thaw in fridge for 24 hours. Spray crock pot with cooking spray. Pour contents of bag into the crock pot. Cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Serve over rice.
