New Recipe: Crock Pot Chicken Teriyaki

Happy Tasty Tuesday!

A couple months ago I made a chicken teriyaki recipe using a pan, but when I was given a crock-pot version I knew I had to try it because meat always ends up coming out more tender and tasty when it's cooked over a long period of time. After making this version I could never go back to the old one because this was fabulous! I made it last Sunday for dinner and it allowed the chicken to marinate all afternoon so when it was time to eat the chicken was full of flavor!

Ingredients:

• 1lb chicken (I buy the chicken stripes so then I don't have to cut it up before hand!)
• 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
• 1/2 teriyaki sauce
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds
• 1 box of Rice-A-Roni: Broccoli Au Gratin
• 1 bag of Green Giant frozen mix veggie steamers

Directions:

• In a large bowl, combine chicken broth, teriyaki sauze, brown sugar and garlic. Stirred until completely combined.
• Add chicken to sauce and toss to coat.
• Pour chicken and teriyaki liquid mixture into the crock-pot.
• Cook on low for 5-6 hours.
• About 45 minutes prior to serving, prepare Rice-A-Roni rice according to the box directions.
• 5 minutes prior to serving, microwave mixed veggie steamers.
• Serve chicken over plated rice and veggies, spoon juices on top for extra flavor.
• Enjoy!
