Friday Food: Chicken Teriyaki

Chicken Teriyaki

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast sliced into "tenders" size
1 6 oz can pineapple juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp minced fresh ginger
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 Tbsp molasses
2 cups hot cooked rice.

Combine all ingredients, except rice, in crock pot slow cooker. Cover; cook on low 2 hours or until chicken is tender. Serve chicken and sauce over rice.

NOTE: I've made this several times and loved it. The original version I saw said to put cherry tomatoes on it but as tomatoes on teriyaki is "sick and wrong" I forbid it. But my readers may like that sort of thing so, carry on. If you wanted to tweak this to a healthier version you can use low salt soy sauce and make it on brown rice.

Another thing you should remember is that crockpots are wonderful inventions and usually save your hiney on days that you schedule way too much to do and are supposed to end that day with a night out with your husband. The problem is that you need to turn on the crock pot to have success and not throw a whole big fat kink into your daily plans.
