Crock Pot Honey Sesame Chicken

“This recipe calls for boneless, skinless chicken thighs of which I am a big fan.  They are inexpensive and I think they are more flavorful and moist than chicken breasts.  I especially like them better in a crock pot because they don’t tend to dry out as much as chicken breasts do.  But I know there are people who just don’t like chicken thighs so you can totally use chicken breasts in this recipe too.” Leigh Anne
