Chicken Teriyaki

That's what was on our menu for tonight. I've been looking at making this for quite awhile but I didn't know what recipe I should follow, then I decided I might as well do what I always do and just throw something together and create my own. So that is exactly what I did.

What you'll need: 

Crockpot

2 lbs. of chicken breast, cut up or cubed (whichever size pieces you prefer) 

1 cup of Teriyaki sauce ( I used a bottle that I got at BJ's, Veri Veri Teriyaki)

1 cup of brown sugar 

3/4 cup of chicken stock 

2-3 cloves of garlic 

a little salt and pepper 

1. First I chopped up the chicken breast, then salt and peppered them. I let them sit while I prepared the sauce. 

2. In a large bowl, mix the teriyaki sauce and brown sugar. The mixture will become thick. 

3. Add Chicken stock and cloves of garlic. 

4. Slowly add in the chicken. Mix until completely coated.

5. Then add everything to the crockpot. Cook on high for about 3 1/2 hours, then turn to low for the last hour. 

6. Then serve over your choice of rice. Tonight we served it over white rice and had a side of broccoli. We may try something else next time. 

There will definitely be a next time with this recipe. I thought 2 pounds of chicken would leave a lot of leftovers but it didn't. 

Tips: If you are making this in the morning and leaving it for the day you should cook on low. 

The longer it is cooked for, the more tender the chicken. 

Well that was my easy and delicious dinner tonight! Crock pot meals are a big favorite of mine, especially during our busy fall schedule. 

Give it a try, hope you enjoy! :)
