Saucy Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken And Rice
Chicken, veggies and rice all put easily together in a crock pot!
My kids are crazy about having rice at least twice a week. So it has been a weekly routine to do so. They eat more than the usual when we have rice around. And of course it would be nice to make them eat a little more veggies together with the rice.
Well this recipe is an all-in-one dish. You have the rice, veggies and chicken. And it is so tasty that you won’t have problems serving this to picky guests or kids if you have any. The teriyaki sauce is what makes this dish so flavorful! And you will appreciate teriyaki more with this dish, and you will learn to appreciate it if you are not a teriyaki type of person.
Check out the recipe below.
