This week…Make this fabulous chicken dish! I’m a real teriyaki fan. But, it’s usually loaded with sugar and sodium. This homemade sauce is much lighter and really yummy with a more subtle teriyaki flavor. Using the crock-pot makes it easy and you don’t have to heat up the kitchen! Each chicken thigh, with sauce, has 140 calories, 3 grams of fat and 3 Weight Watchers SmartPoints. So low in calories and points you might want 1½ thighs or even 2 of them!
