Paleo Slow Cooker Orange Chicken

So this is another one of the recipes that I made a few weeks ago and then froze to just throw in a crock pot - so helpful with a one week old. 



Ingredients:
*2 lbs boneless organic chicken breasts (cut into pieces)
*1/3 cup coconut aminos
*1/3 cup honey
*2 tbls orange juice
*2 tbls tomato paste
*1 tbls toasted seasame oil
*2 tsp minced garlic
*1/2 tsp ground ginger
*3/4 tsp sea salt
*1/4 tsp black pepper
*1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
*3 cups frozen broccoli
*Garnish with toasted or plain sesame seeds and green onions


1. Place the chicken at the bottom of the crock pot and turn on low heat.
2. Place all the remaining ingredients (minus the sesame seeds) in a food processor or whisk together. Pour mixture over the chicken. Make sure to turn the chicken around so all of the chicken is coated.
3. Cook in the crockpot on HIGH. With 30 minutes cook time left, add frozen broccoli.
4. Take the sauce that was in the crockpot and transfer to a small sauce pan. Cook for about 15-20 minutes on medium heat until the sauce thickens.
5. Pour over your chicken and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

Serve over quinoa or cauliflower rice . . . We had this last night with salad as well. Super yummy and so easy to dump the frozen/prepped meal in the crockpot.
