Easy Chicken Teriyaki slow cooker recipe
Teriyaki is a popular Japanese sauce made from soy, brown sugar, ginger and vinegar (or mirin). Usually served with chicken, teriyaki is an extra delicious dish that everyone in the house will love. For a vegetarian alternative, try using tofu instead of a chicken or load your slow cooker up with hearty root vegetables.
