Slow cooker teriyaki chicken

Spend just one hour in the kitchen making five slow cooker freezer meals.

Serving size 4-5

Ingredients:

• 1 to 1-1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4  teaspoon ginger
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup chicken broth (or 1 cup water with bouillon)
• 1/2  teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch (don’t add to freezer bag)

Directions:

1. Add all the ingredients to the freezer bag except for the cornstarch.

• The fuller the slow cooker, the longer it will take to cook your food.
• According to the official Crock-Pot website, you can safely cook frozen meat in your Crock-Pot. If you still don’t like the idea, you can put the bag in the fridge the night before, and the meat should be defrosted by the morning.
• Never put the plastic bag in the slow cooker. Always dump out the contents to prepare your meal.
• When you freeze the bag, make sure the frozen lump (for lack of a better word) will easily fit into your Crock-Pot.
• One reader suggested putting the dinners into Crock-Pot liners and then into the freezer bags.
