Making Life a Little Easier

A while back I posted a recipe for honey soy chicken, and it is still my fallback in terms of being something easy to throw together with flavors that even the pickiest of eaters will enjoy. But now that work seems to frequently interfere with how much free time I have to cook, I wanted to convert my go-to favorite to something that doesn't require much attention.
Recipe of the day: Slow Cooker Honey Soy Chicken Thighs

2 lb pkg boneless skinless chicken thighs
1/2 c soy sauce
1/2 c ketchup
1/4 c honey
1 tsp sesame oil

Place chicken thighs in the bottom of your slow cooker, overlapping if necessary. Add sauce ingredients on top of slow cooker and cover. Set to High 4 hours.

Occasionally, turn the chicken thighs over. If you are not around to do this frequently don't worry, they will be fine.

After four hours, your chicken will be tender enough to shred with tongs or two forks with minimal effort. If you had time to flip the chicken through the cooking time, this should happen on its own after a few hours.

We served this with 5 minute fried rice and a mix of frozen peas and steamed fresh broccoli. Total prep time for the entire meal was about 15 minutes. Enjoy!
