Crockpot Chicken with Asian Flavours

Brent did it again...He made another delicous crockpot dish for us! This was delicious and really easy to make. We used to order out a lot of Chinese food and would spend sooo much money and eat so many unhealthy dishes- fried, battered... you name it, we loved it. But I find that we now make our own Asian meals and we don't really miss the other 'unhealthy' stuff. Here's why....

Crockpot Chicken with Asian flavours (adapted http://southernfood.about.com/od/crockpotchicken/r/bl94c3.htm)

Ingredients:

•3 lb. chicken thighs or leg quarters (I used a large pack of boneless, skinless thighs)

•1/4 cup Hoisin sauce

•1/4 cup plum sauce

•1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce

•1 medium piece fresh ginger root, about 2 inches, peeled and thinly sliced or grated

•juice of 1 whole fresh lime

•3 tbsp. corn starch

Preparation:

Remove skin from chicken, if desired. Combine hoisin sauce, plum sauce, soy sauce, ginger, lime, and cornstarch in a large bowl or food storage bag; blend well. Add the chicken pieces, turning to coat well. Place everything, including marinade, in slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 7 hours, until chicken is tender and juices run clear. Serve with hot cooked rice. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
