NOTES

Serving Size : The nutrition information is for 8 servings. Each serving being 1 cup of honey teriyaki chicken. Any rice or toppings are extra and not included in the nutrition information. Chicken : If the chicken breasts are larger then just use 3 of them. I use the ones from Costco and they are much bigger than the grocery store, so I use 3 of those. Chicken Broth : You can use regular salted chicken broth or reduced-sodium. Keep in mind that the slow cooker tends to mute flavors because of the longer cook time, which is why I prefer to use regular chicken broth for this recipe.
