slow cooker pineapple teriyaki chicken


2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
1/4 c flour
salt and pepper

why dirty up a bowl when you can prep the chicken straight in the crockpot

flour mixture:

add chicken:










1 can pineapple tidbits
2 cloves crushed garlic
2 tsp crushed ginger
1/2 c teriyaki glaze
honey, drizzle on top of whole mixture
1 tbsp mirin (rice wine)
sprinkle of cayenne (optional)

NOTE: pineapple is just for show.  most people wont tell you this but though crockpot cooked pineapple gives off a wonderful flavor it actually seems to take on a not so yummy one so we actually didn't eat it.  







4-6 hours on low (depending on your crockpot- my low setting is more like medium so I only needed 4 hours)


BEST WAY TO SERVE: cook your favorite kind of rice according to water rice ratio directions BUT instead of water use chicken broth, add two bay leaves, toasted sesame oil, and towards the end of cooking add some soy sauce.  mmmmmmmm
