Crock Pot Honey Sesame Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Have an Instant Pot? You can make these Crock Pot Honey Sesame Chicken Lettuce Wraps in the Instant Pot too! RECIPE HERE!

I pretty much love crock pot recipes because they are usually fairly easy and cheap.  They usually don’t have too many ingredients, most you probably have on hand already.  This recipe is done in a pretty quick amount of time in crock pot terms, too- 3 to 4 hours.  When I made Slow Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken Lettuce Wraps last week, it left a really delightful smell in the house, and even being a vegetarian I was drooling looking at this.  The sauce looks really good, and I think it pairs perfectly with a nice crisp lettuce wrap.  You could also opt to serve this over rice, or in taco shells…I think there are a lot of options here.  As for the taste? My boss said it was really good, and described it as having a unique smokey-sweet flavor.

This is also super healthy, being from Skinny Taste. It has only 185 calories per serving and 2 grams of fat, while giving you a whopping 27 grams of protein!

  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce tamari for gluten-free
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 3 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1 heaping tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 2 medium scallions chopped for garnish

Instructions
  1. 1. Place the chicken in the slow cooker and season with black pepper.
  2. 2. In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, tomato paste, vinegar, garlic, 1 tbsp water, sesame oil, onion powder and sriracha hot chili sauce. Pour over chicken and cook on LOW 3-4 hours.

    We made this tonight – minus the sriracha for the kids – with coconut rice and butter lettuce, and a little sweet chill sauce for the grown ups. It was delicious and really quick, so we will definitely be making it again. Thanks for a great recipe!
