Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken And Rice
Do you need a simple recipe for dinner? This recipe for teriyaki chicken with rice that is made in your slow cooker is just the ticket!
The recipe starts off with ground chicken that is seasoned, cooked and crumbled in a skillet on stove-top and then added to the slow cooker.
Next, just dump the rest of the ingredients (cooked rice, frozen veggies, pineapple tidbits, and teriyaki sauce) in the ol’ crockpot and give it a stir. Let that cook for just a few hours or until the veggies are cooked and serve it in bowls (or lettuce cups!).
Sprinkle on some sesame seeds and green onion slices…this is optional. It makes the dish pretty and adds some extra flavor too.
This is one of those recipes that I personally like to make on the weekend and reheat for lunches throughout the week too. So if you want to do that you can. Or if there is leftovers they taste great on another day.
