Crock Pot Chicken Terriyaki: 1lb chicken (sliced, cubed or however), 1c chicken broth, 1/2c terriyaki or soy sauce, 1/3c brown sugar, 3minced garlic cloves

This was an interesting idea to try out, especially since it looks so amazing!  That and I have a crock-pot that needs to be used sometimes.

It should be said to start off that I did not follow the recipe exactly.  I added a chopped yellow pepper for flavour and reduced the amount of soy sauce so I could add in a little apple cider vinegar.  Soy sauce and vinegar make an excellent Asian flavour which I then topped off with some fresh green onions as garnish.

First suggestion I would make is to not cook this as long as I did.  I ended up cooking it on low for about 9 or 10 hours which overcooked the chicken a bit.  It still tasted good but the meat was a little dry.  Also, don't expect the recipe to look like the picture.  That's why I put it under "fail" as well as "pass" since it still tasted wonderful but without a bed of rice to serve on top of it would have been lacklustre.  I want to try this recipe again to see if I can't get a glaze to form like in the picture.  (Stupid misleading picture of deliciousness!)
