Crockpot Teriyaki Chicken

Ok, I know this might seem like a silly thing to post, but really, I know sometimes recipes don't occur to me to make that are really simple, so I wanted to post this in case you haven't thought of it. So easy, only 2 ingredients, and every plate in my household was empty afterwards. :-)

Ingredients
1 - 1/2 pounds chicken (I used breasts)
3/4 cup teriyaki sauce (any brand you like, watch for gluten free if need be)

DirectionsPlace chicken in crockpot, pour sauce over top. Cook on low 6-7 hours. Shred chicken up with fork and enjoy. Very good over rice with a ladle of sauce.

Based upon my sister's suggestion, this goes really well with pineapple bake. Thanks Laura! :-)

Allergies and Intolerances

My son, Daniel previously had allergies to egg whites and peanuts. I am lactose intolerant. My nephews have allergies to many foods. I will try my best to label things to help those with allergies since I know it's difficult finding recipes sometimes when someone in your home has common food allergies. Make sure you check labels yourself. If it's marked soy-free or nut-free, it only means it doesn't have the soy or nut protein in it, not necessarily the oils. Look for dairy-free, egg-free, gluten/wheat-free, nut-free, and soy-free labels.

Egg replacements

If you need an egg free recipe, I have some great egg replacements. Now these really won't work in recipes that require a lot of eggs, like a meringue or cheesecake, but they do work well in most recipes I've ever tried.

Egg replacement #1: use 1 Tbsp ground flax seed and 3 Tbsp of water in place of 1 egg. Why this works? I don't know, but flax seed is extremely healthy for you, full of lots of omega fatty acids, so this is my preferred substitute.

Egg replacement #2: Boil 1 cup of water and 1 packet of unflavored gelatin together. In it's liquid state, use 3 1/2 Tbsp of this in place of 1 egg.

I have found sometimes one works better than the other. The flax seed seems to work better overall, I believe, but my mother-in-law made Christmas cookies with the gelatin and you couldn't even tell the difference.
