HEAVENLY Crock-Pot HONEY TERIYAKI CHICKEN
"My honey teriyaki chicken is so good that you'll swear the SINFUL sauce has a ton of calories but it doesn't! This healthy version of a typical 'take out' dish will send you back to the kitchen for seconds (and without guilt)."

This is delicious! Added a bag of mixed frozen veggies after because I didn't have broccoli so picture is not as aesthetically pleasing as the one from blog but this is definitely a must!! Only thing I recommend is mixing the cornstarch in some water before pouring it in to the saucepan because before I mixed it in with water the little bit I DID put in there was clumped up on me big time so I had to use a strainer to declumo after the fact. But with the diluted cornstarch it worked so well!
