I have started doing at least one crock pot meal a week! It just makes my afternoons when the kids get home so much easier sometimes to have dinner most of the way done!
We like chicken and rice. I would eat it once a week at least! Brown rice would be better and I will probably start trying to add that in!
This was a simple recipe and it even provided sauce to put on your rice! My chicken was flavorful and not dry and the sauce was yummy!
I am excited to have another easy meal to make!
Crock Pot Teriyaki Chicken
(found on pinterest via http://www.lakelurecottagekitchen.blogspot.com/)
- 12 boneless skinless chicken thighs~about 3 lbs (I used about 5 chicken breasts)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup soy sauce
- 6 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 3/4 tsp ground ginger
- 3/4 tsp minced garlic (I minced about 4 cloves garlic)
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 4 1/2 tsp cornstarch
- 4 1/2 tsp cold water
- Hot cooked rice
- Veggies of your choosing~broccoli, snap peas, etc.
Place chicken (I even used frozen chicken and it worked great) in your slow cooker~I always try to spray with non-stick spray before I add my ingredients.
In a bowl, combine sugar, soy sauce, cider vinegar, ginger, garlic and pepper. Pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours.
Remove chicken and let it rest. Skim any fat from cooking liquid and place in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Mix together your corn starch and cold water. Gradually stir into boiling sauce and stir until sauce is thickened.
Serve sauce with your chicken and rice. Next time I am going to add cooked broccoli and sugar snap peas to this to make a sort of stir fry with the sauce!
Yummy!!!
