Slow Cooker Chicken Teriyaki. A couple minutes of forethought and a warm delicious meal is magically ready hours later. This is good.
We can pretend that busting out the slow cooker means that you are a planner. A thinker. A hipster with big googly eyeglasses that serve no function but look really bad ass with that cardigan and skinny jeans all down with the jive and cool kids and their iPads. We can pretend that being a slow cooking master makes you a braising expert and a culinary time managing genius. We can pretend a lot of things (and who knows, maybe all of the above is true), but let’s be real. Some times a slow cooker and some whatever is hanging out in the fridge is exactly what the doctor ordered on a busy weekday morning hustle and bustle ten minutes late out the front door dinner on the table like whoa. Yeah, sometimes, it just fits the bill. Today is one of those times.
Raise a glass to yourself. Your wild and crazy dinner prepping skills live to see another day.

I’ll admit that I’m a planner when it comes to slow cooker meals. I like the searing and such prior to putting stuff in the cooker so I kinda have to plan. Now that you’ve shared this gem, I can plan to make it too. 🙂
