This was okay and an easy-to-make crockpot meal, but next time I think I will use more of something to give it a bit of a kick and more Asian flavor. I did add some asparagus at the very end with the cornstarch mixture -- maybe using a green pepper or Asian veggies would have been a better choice. Thanks for sharing!

I love crock pot meals and this was quick to throw together. I halved the recipe because it was just my DH and I. However, I used the whole can of pineapples and more water chestnuts than it called for. I had a good flavor, however I think next time I will add a little more soy sauce and a little more ginger to make it a little more Asian in flavor. Made for ZWT6

I halved this recipe and made it for dinner tonight. My family adores foods like teriyaki chicken and I assumed it would be similar. The chicken was a bit dry and didn't have a lot of flavor, really. Not sure if you meant to use pineapple in syrup, which would have made it significantly sweeter. All I had was the kind in it's own juice. If I try this again, I may add some brown sugar and more garlic. Thanks for the recipe, though...love trying new things!
