Crockpot Teriyaki Chicken


I admit, I love Chinese take-out because it relieves me from having to cook. Especially on days when I'm working long hours. This particular Crock Pot Teriyaki Chicken recipe is a hit with my family and have often asked for me to make this at home instead of ordering take out! Everything is tossed into the crock pot/slow cooker right after lunch and by dinner time, it's ready to serve up. I've found this to be a bonus recipe that's easy enough for my husband or son to put together without any help! But if you do insist on preparing this yourself, you can also prepare this ahead of time - directions for making ahead are also included below...
