Don’t you love it when you try a new recipe and it’s a winner? All too often I see a mouth-watering recipe, buy all the ingredients, and whip it up only to find myself wishing I’d stuck with an “old faithful.” This Crock-pot Teriyaki Chicken made the risk worth taking! It has now become a classic family fave around our home.
This recipe is quick to prepare and will tingle the taste-buds!. No special ingredients needed in this recipe — you probably have most of the ingredients on hand. The best part? You can throw all the ingredients in the crock-pot and forget about it until a few minutes before dinner. Now, that’s my kind of cooking!
