Asian Slow Cooker Chicken

Add to Recipe Box

One of the last meat based meals I made before switching to a plant based diet was this Asian Slow Cooker Chicken.  I love meals that can cook all day in the slow cooker and be ready when I get home from a busy day with the kids.  I literally threw everything in the slow cooker, covered and 6 hours later dinner was done.  This meal got a thumbs up from everyone!  The sauce was delicious and we enjoyed it over rice with a side of steamed broccoli.  YUM!
