Sesame Chicken made clean.







Ingredients:
Boneless chicken breast (3-4 breasts)
1/2 an onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 c honey
1/2 c low-sodium soy sauce ( I use Gluten Free )
4 Tbls tomato puree/paste
2 tsp sesame oil
3 tsp cornstarch
1/4 c water




Serve with 2 c broccoli florets, chopped into bite-sized pieces + 1 tsp sesame oil for frying

Rice or quinoa, to serve
Toasted sesame seeds, to serve

Directions:

1. Spray the inside of the crockpot with cooking spray to make it easier to clean after. Place chicken in the bottom of the cooker.





2. Combine the onion, garlic, honey, soy sauce, tomato paste and oil in a bowl and stir.



3. Pour sauce over the chicken and cook on low for 4-6 hours (depending on how much chicken. You can use frozen breasts so and cook for 6 hours.)





4. 20 minutes before you want to serve, prepare the rice and remove the chicken from the slow

cooker.
5. Combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl and add it to the remaining sauce in the slow cooker. Turn the temperature up to high to allow the sauce to thicken. While it's thickening, shred or chop the chicken.

6. Once the sauce has thickened, add the chicken back into the sauce and turn to coat.

7. In a skillet, heat 1 tsp of sesame oil over med-high heat. Fan fry the broccoli until it turns a bright green color and is a little firm to taste (you don't want to overcook it!) If you're a garlic-lover, you could add some garlic to the oil when you saute the broccoli.

8. Place the broccoli over the rice, top with chicken and sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Enjoy!

What Soda Can Do To Your Body in 30 Days Would you drink 10 Cokes a day to prove a point? Probably not. Especially now that  George Prior  has decided to do it for you. In an experiment similar to  Super Size Me  (a documentary that explored Morgan Spurlock’s month-long McDonalds-only eating binge and its affect on his health), Prior documented what happens when someone drinks 10 Cokes each day for a month. Prior wanted to raise awareness about how much sugar Americans drink daily and what soda can do to our bodies. By his estimate, “a big percentage of Americans drink at least the sugar equivalent of my ten Cokes.” Though his numbers are probably slightly exaggerated, it is worth noting that soft drinks  are  the number one source of added calories in Americans’ diets   and, drinking your calories has been linked to an increase in appetite. As expected, Prior experienced some drastic changes during his month-long expe...
