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!

Regardless what you choose to do in life be consistent. The path and journey you choose has to be one that ignites passion. When I started my coaching business I never imagined I would be where I am today. I never imagined I would be helping people change their lives and helping them reach their goals in fitness. I have taken on a new challenge and now i want to help women find a way to live a better life. Maybe you are looking for an opportunity and you want to stop living pay check to paycheck or you want to give your family a better life, vacation, college or retirement. When I started out I just wanted to make some extra cash and be able to work outside the home part time so I could be there for my kids when they got home from school but still bring in some income. Now that I have new goals, I want to help others do the same and regardless how much you want to make or add to your pocket. I know it is possible. You can work this coaching business 1 hour a day or on weekends. Their ...

Hello my name is Christine Chowning and I am excited to offer my new group for women who are 40 and over. This is a 5-day FREE group and I am looking for women who are serious and ready to commit to 5 days of change. Please read below before you say you are interested.  Weight gain sucks and when we reach the age of 40 it sucks even more. We all seem to think that it is impossible to lose weight during menopause. I am here to tell you that you are wrong. If you are committed, you don’t give up and you are not looking for a quick fix then I can help you. Several factors play a role in weight gain around menopause, including: Hormone fluctuation, loss of muscle mass, inadequate sleep, and increased insuli n resistance. And fat storage starts to shift from the hips and thighs to the abdomen during menopause. There are several other signs like hot flashes, mood swings. But I am here to tell you that you can combat these challenges. You may not feel motivated but regula...
