This easy Crockpot Teriyaki Chicken recipe features tender chicken breasts slow-cooked in a flavorful teriyaki sauce, topped with fresh broccoli florets for a healthy, delicious meal. Perfect for a hands-off dinner, it pairs wonderfully with rice or noodles.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Sauce

  • 2 lbs chicken breasts (about 900g)
  • 1 cup teriyaki sauce (240 ml)

Vegetables

  • 1 cup broccoli florets (90g)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crockpot: Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in the crockpot to ensure even cooking.
  2. Add Teriyaki Sauce: Pour the teriyaki sauce evenly over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated for maximum flavor infusion.
  3. Slow Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 6 hours, allowing the chicken to become tender and soak up the teriyaki flavors.
  4. Add Broccoli: About 30 minutes before cooking ends, add the broccoli florets to the crockpot and gently stir to combine, letting the broccoli steam to retain its bright color and crunch.
  5. Shred and Serve: Optionally shred the chicken with two forks for an easy-to-eat texture and serve hot over rice or noodles for a complete meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken thighs for chicken breasts if you prefer darker meat with more flavor.
  • Use low-sodium teriyaki sauce to reduce salt content if desired.
  • Add vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas along with broccoli for extra nutrition and color.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a thicker sauce, remove chicken towards the end and reduce the sauce on the stove for a few minutes.
