    “Take-Out” Date-Night. Easy to prepare, easy to clean up, more affordable and better tasting! What is not to like about this date-night alternative to hopping on your mobile device and scrolling through a restaurant delivery app?

    A place setting for two of a chicken teriyaki meal with chopsticks. Also on the table are candles, flowers, a crockpot, wine bottle, wine glasses, an opener and a slow cooker.

    The preparation is minimal, so one individual can surprise the other or make and it an event and prep together. The 3.5 hours that the chicken simmers away in the Crockpot™ 2-Quart Round Manual Slow Cooker is the perfect opportunity to run out to get some flowers and a bottle of wine or take a long walk together.

    A date night dinner of chicken, vegetable and rice with candles and a slow cooker.

    This interactive take-out date-night meal is surefire way to spice things up, and I am not just talking about the hot peppers! Enjoy!

    Disclosure: I have participated in a paid partnership with Crockpot™. However, all opinions in this post are my own.

    Ingredients are laid out around a slow cooker.

    Equipment

    • 1 Crockpot™ 2-Quart Round Manual Slow Cooker

    Ingredients
      

    • 12 ounces boneless skinless chicken thighs 3-4 thighs, cut into bite size pieces
    • 2 teaspoons garlic minced
    • 4 teaspoons ginger minced
    • 2 tablespoons hot honey or regular honey
    • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
    • ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
    • 4 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
    • 4 teaspoons rice vinegar
    • 1 red pepper sliced into 1” squares
    • 1 hot long green pepper 2 ½ ounces
    • 4 small carrots thinly sliced (2 ½ – 3 ounces)
    • 4 ounces broccoli cut in florets
    • 8 shitake mushrooms 1 ounce, or substitute button mushrooms or sliced cremini mushrooms
    • 2 tablespoons cold water
    • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

    Garnish:

    • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
    • 3 green onions thinly sliced, white & light green parts only
    • Red chili peppers thinly sliced (optional)

    Suggested Serving:

    • Jasmine rice or cauliflower rice, rice noodles or zucchini noodles

    Instructions
     

    • Place the chicken breasts pieces into the 2-quart slow cooker.
    • Whisk together the garlic, ginger, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil and rice vinegar, then pour the mixture over the chicken.
    • Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 hours and 45 minutes.
    • Add the red pepper, hot pepper, carrots, gently stir to combine, cover, and cook for 20 minutes.
    • Add the broccoli and mushrooms, stir, cover, and cook for 20 minutes more.
    • Using a slotted spoon, remove the chicken and vegetables from the slow cooker to a rimmed sheet pan or platter, cover and set aside. (Optional – at this point I separate the chicken from the vegetables to serve the chicken on rice and the vegetables on the side)
    • Strain the remaining teriyaki sauce from the slow cooker into a small saucepan.
    • Place the saucepan on the stove over medium-high heat and bring to a low boil.
    • In a small bowl, mix a slurry of the cornstarch and water until fully dissolved. Then pour the cornstarch into the saucepan, stir, bring back to a low a boil. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce has just thickened.
    • Pour half the sauce over the chicken pieces and toss to coat.
    • Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds, green onions, red onions, then serve. Enjoy!
