Chinese Teriyaki Chicken with Veggies Recipe

I found some frozen (boneless, skinless) chicken thighs that I had bought a while ago that needed to be used, so I broke out my new (beautiful and amazing) crock pot Slow Cooker that I got for Christmas and decided to have a little fun! I didn’t have time this morning to get everything “ready” like I normally would so I decided to try out something different!

I added the chicken frozen, and after about 15 minutes in the crock-pot it was thawed enough for me to “break” the three large pieces apart. Once they were separated, I added (i didn’t measure, but I think) about 3-4 tablespoons of Garlic Olive Oil. Then I just let it cook. I turned it after about 2 hours, and changed the temp to low. Also at this point I added about 1/4-1/2 cup of chopped (frozen from my garden this summer) green peppers, 1/2 cup of (frozen, from my garden this summer) carrots, and about 1/2-3/4 cup of chopped broccoli. Then I added about 1/2-1 cup of Teriyaki baste…(thicker than the sauce). I stirred it all together and let it cook for another 2-3 hours. We heated up a bag of the Uncle Bens Basmati Ready Rice and served it with corn on the side. IT WAS SO GOOD!

We also heated up a can of corn and served that with it. It was really good. The mini corn cobs would have been really good in this, as well as other veggies. That is just what we had on hand.
