Slow Cooker Chicken Teriyaki

This is a great, super easy, crock pot meal for any day of the week. We all really enjoyed the way this dish came out; it has a very nice teriyaki flavor to it - not too strong, not too salty, not too weak. The flavors are delicious, and the sauce has a nice sticky consistency to compliment the super tender chicken and rice.

 

We like to cook our brown rice with some chicken bouillon for extra flavor!

 

We served this with some steamed broccoli for a complete and satisfying meal.
