Shredded chicken. The bright sweetness of honey and orange marmalade. A little kick of ginger. And a deliriously good hit of umami from coconut aminos. Teriyaki chicken is a restaurant classic because it delivers. Time and time again.
What’s more, this recipe enlists the help of your slow cooker.
The juicy, sweet salty love that comes out of your slow cooker might inspire you to shower it with kisses. After all, how can one kitchen appliance tirelessly do so much for you?
Get your greens in and serve this with Seared Bok Choy – for full AIP compliance, be sure to skip the sesame seeds and switch out the sesame oil for coconut oil.

Sugary but good weekday kids crocpot. Was good, but you can expect a lot of sugar out of this ! That makes a good mixture with white rice.
