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.

Hi, we aren’t huge chicken breast fans. Have you ever done this recipe with chicken thighs? Think it would work with same cook time?
Yes, you can easily substitute the breasts with chicken thighs.
You do not cut or dice the chicken breasts at all before cooking? You shred it all after?
No need! It’s much easier to shred when they’re whole.
cook on high or low for six hours?
The recipe says low for 4-6 hours
Hi, if cooked on high setting is 4hours enough time.?
Thank you in advance
Yes, it should be enough.
Looks like something that our family would like. I just started a cook book for my y9oungest daughter, of her favorite things that, I make. Then like a monster, my lists of requests have grown out of control. I include pictures so the end results have something to compare it to. I sent the spices as well for the meatloaf recipe. I sent a carton of beef stock for the gravy.
She said it was an awesome recipe.
Thanks for your comments Barbara and what a great idea setting up a cookbook for your daughter. We hope you will find a few more recipes to add to the book. Thanks for commenting and sharing your story.
3 chicken breasts equals about how many lbs of chicken in your recipe? Breasts at my store vary quite a bit.
About a pound, Mary, but it doesn’t have to be exact.
How can I thicken the sauce to more of a glaze?
You can cook it in a saucepan over medium-low heat, it should reduce after about 20 to 30 minutes and thicken up nicely.
What vegetables did you use?
I like to serve this with steamed broccoli. 🙂
Or whatever veggies your family likes but cook all together for great blend.
