Equipment

Ingredients

2 Tbsp olive oil
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 6-8), trimmed and cut into strips
1 large onion sliced
2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh ginger*
1/2 cup reduced-sodium teriyaki sauce
1 package 10-12 oz frozen stir-fry vegetables
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1/2 bunch scallions slivered

Instructions

Coat slow cooker with cooking spray.
Over medium-high heat, heat oil in a skillet and saute chicken for about 5 minutes. Transfer to slow cooker.
Mix onion, ginger and teriyaki sauce in a bowl. Pour sauce over chicken and stir until coated.
Place cover on slow cooker and and cook on LOW for 2 hours, or until chicken is thoroughly cooked.
Turn to HIGH, stir in frozen vegetables, and cook 20-30 minutes more - until vegetables are tender (but should also still be crisp).
Before serving, stir in almonds and scallions.

*I often use fresh ginger paste that comes in a jar instead of dealing with peeling and chopping fresh ginger. You should be able to find it in the Asian section of larger grocery stores. Or you could substitute a teaspoon of ground ginger instead.
