Blue Ribbon Recipe

The next time you're craving take-out, make this slow cooker sesame chicken instead. It's as good as any restaurant and less expensive to make at home. The chicken breasts are extremely tender after slow cooking. The sauce is savory with a hint of sweetness. Sesame seeds sprinkled on top add a touch of nutty flavor. Serve over white rice for an Asian-inspired meal.
