Quick and easy crockpot teriyaki chicken. Skinless boneless chicken breasts tossed together with all ingredients and slowly cooked in a crockpot.

What a great weekend it’s been. Did you all have a great Labor day weekend? It was my nephew’s 3rd birthday and it was wonderful. The only sad thing about these weekends is that they have to end.

I also made this crockpot teriyaki chicken this weekend which was a great success. I just love teriyaki chicken and I wanted to try it in the slow cooker. As usual, anytime you make chicken in a slow cooker, it turns out so tender, the chicken literally melts in your mouth. I served the chicken over some jasmine rice, poured some extra teriyaki sauce over the chicken, sprinkled it with sesame seeds and garnished with some green onions. It’s fabulous, simple and delicious.

    Do you know if the cooking time or anything would need to be modified if using beef instead of chicken?

      I would cook the beef a bit longer than chicken.

    Hi, just wondering about a more exact cooking time? 4-6 hours is quite a window! If I am using thawed chicken, what would the cooking time be specifically? Thanks!

      You can, but it will need a longer cooking time.

    Can you leave out the sesame oil?
    Or is there a substitute?

    My family loves this recipe….however, could you package and freeze? I’m taking the crockpot on vacation and this would be excellent to already have it prepackaged and dumped while we are on the beach!

      Oh totally, just mix all the sauce ingredients in a ziploc bag, add the chicken to it and freeze it. Great idea!

    We had this tonight and everyone devoured it! Is it possible to double the recipe and if so, would the cooking time change?

      You could certainly double the recipe, but I don’t think I’d change the cooking time, you could always try it after 6 hours to see if it’s cooked, but it should be fine.

    I usually add fresh vegetables at the end of the cooking process- 30-40 min (throw veggies on top after shredding chicken) and 30ish minutes later – voila! Delish!

      What vegetables do you use? Also, I guess they can be frozen, just add additional time?

    Any adjustments (cook time, etc.) to this recipe if using a crock pot versus a slow cooker?

      A Crock Pot is a slow cooker.
