Crockpot Teriyaki Chicken
Camille gave me this recipe and it has been saved on my phone forever so I thought I should put it on here so I have it saved somewhere. My kids all gobbled this up, which is a dinner miracle for every mom.
We all love this simple and tasty dish and the best part is, it is so easy to throw together.
I love making this on busy days when I know we are going to be gone, and won’t be back until dinner time. I love coming home and smelling a cooked meal, ready to be served.
This is one of those recipe, that just saves your life, and takes the stress out of family dinner. Plus, everyone loves it, so it’s a win win.

could i cook this chicken on high for a shorter amount of time?

Chicken can be a tricky one to cook. Mostly because it can dry out in the slow cooker quickly.

You could cook it on high for a shorter amount of time (about 3-4 hours with frozen chicken breasts) but we recommend cooking it on low, for a longer amount of time, so the juices don’t cook out, and the chicken is more tender and juicy.

You could always cook it higher, then add a little bit of your own teriyaki sauce after cooking, to help with the dryness, but we recommend cooking it on low for longer.

what could i serve with this recipe?

Side dishes are the most tricky part of dinner to me. I am always exhausted after making the main dish, and now they want side dishes? However, we have a few simple dishes that would pair perfectly with this Korean dish.

Here are a few we recommend:

    For you slow cooker experts, could you do the same with boneless skinless chicken breasts and ones that weren't frozen?

      Sure! If your chicken breasts are thawed, reduce your cooking time. You could probably get away with 4 hours on low. Be sure to check it and make sure it's cooked through.

    Is it possible to cook this on high for a lesser amount of time? I wanted to make this tonight but completely forgot until now, meaning we would have to wait until later to eat. Would love some advice, thanks!

      You can cook it on high for 3-4 hours, but in my experience, I don't feel like the chicken is as tender and moist when it do it on high. However, it still works and the flavor is great! :)

    I made this a couple nights ago and we all loved it! I really appreciated how fast and easy it was to get started, and I enjoyed smelling it all day. When my sons got home from school, they walked in the door, stopped in their tracks and asked "What smells so good?!" One of my sons is a very choosy eater, and he devoured his chicken! My other son likes a lot of foods, but generally doesn't like the shredded consistency of meat from a slow cooker. He also ate all of his chicken! The chicken could've been shredded, but it held together enough that I could cut it into bite size pieces too. This is definitely a recipe I'll add to my rotation! I used about 8-10 frozen thighs, because that's what I had and they turned out tender and absolutely delicious!
