Slow Cooker Honey Teriyaki Chicken - Asian Food

This recipe is so easy to throw into your slow cooker and the honey teriyaki flavor is our of this world!  The chicken cooks to perfection and will be one of the best things that you will make!
I am sure that you can imagine how often this Teriyaki Chicken gets made in this house.  But I am not complaining because it takes a matter of minutes to throw into the slow cooker and it is amazing. As I was making it the other day, I wondered how much better honey would make the recipe.  This simple added ingredient took it to a whole different level.

I think this is the best thing that I have ever made in my slow cooker.  The honey added some sweetness to the teriyaki and made it incredible.  My favorite part of cooking this in the slow cooker is the chicken.  It just shreds apart because it is so tender and melts in your mouth.
