Crock Pot Sesame Chicken

I used to tell myself that I HATED chinese food.  HATED it.  Aaron made me try some of his sesame chicken from China Wok here in Greenville, NC.  I didn't want to admit it, but I LOVED it.  The chicken sauce was sooo yummy and delectable.  I found this recipe on Six Sisters' Stuff via Pinterest, and while it doesn't really taste like legitimate sesame chicken, it was still really great and gave me an excuse to use my crock pot!  So here is the recipe!
