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.

  18. 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!
