CROCK POT HONEY GINGER CHICKEN (Gluten Free)

This chicken dish is easy and delicious.  It rivals my crock pot General Tso's Chicken.

I take chopped boneless, skinless chicken thighs and dredge them in a cornstarch seasoned with salt and pepper.  I then lightly brown the chicken pieces in coconut oil in a saucepan.  Do not overcrowd the pan.  Brown the chicken in two batches if necessary.  The chicken will continue to cook in the crock pot.  Once lightly browned add the chicken to the crock pot.

Now, prepare the sauce.  In a large measuring cup, whisk together the honey, tamari sauce, red pepper flakes, grated ginger root, and juice of 2 limes.  Once thoroughly mixed together add the sauce to the chicken in the crock pot.

Put the lid on the crock pot and set to low for 4 hours.  After 4 hours stir the chicken and add the chopped green onions. Continue to cook for another 15 mins.

Give the dish one final stir and serve over rice.  Enjoy :)
