Freezer Crockpot Honey Bourbon Chicken

Another one of the awesome freezer crock-pot meals...    I get so excited about the food that sometimes I forget to take pictures.  That's why I only have one to share with you today.

Crock-pot Bourbon Chicken

Ingredients:
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken strips
Salt & pepper
1/2 cup diced onion
1 cup honey
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1-2 tablespoons cornstarch
Sesame Seeds (optional)
1/4 cup Bourbon (optional)



Instructions:

• Salt and pepper the chicken.  Place in a gallon-size freezer bag.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the honey, soy sauce, ketchup, oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, onion, bourbon (if you are using it).  Add to freezer bag and seal.
• When you are ready to use thaw in fridge overnight.  Empty contents into crock-pot and cook on low 3-4 hours.  Remove chicken and slice into strips.
• Combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water.  Pour into crock pot and mix.  If the sauce does not thicken, add one more tablespoon cornstarch and water.
• Place chicken back in crock pot and stir around to coat.
• Serve over rice, sprinkle with sesame seeds.

I left out the bourbon when I made this.  Not because I am against alcohol.  I am without a doubt not. lol.  It was because I didn't have it handy.  I didn't want to go buy it for just one recipe.  Though I should have because I plan to make this again and again.  Another thing I did not add was the sesame seeds.  I have those, I just forgot...
