I was in the student council in elementary school, which mean I had the “privilege” to sell beef jerky in the hallway at lunch. That is when my love affair with teriyaki started! I would be sure to bring 50 cents to school everyday so I could buy a piece of that delicious, flavorful jerky. I have never met a teriyaki recipe I didn’t like, and this one is so sweet and tasty that your family is bound to love it too!

Slow Cooker Sweet Teriyaki Chicken Recipe
This simple crock pot recipe is full of flavor and easy to throw together. We love to serve it over rice.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (mine were frozen)
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup onion
- 4 cups white rice cooked
Instructions
- Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- In a sauce pan heat soy sauce, sugar, garlic, and chopped onion over medium heat until boiling.
- Pour sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker.
- Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
- Serve over cooked rice.
Notes
We also love to serve this with stir-fried vegetables. I just buy a bag from the frozen foods section and fry it on the stove top when the chicken has about 10 minutes left to cook.
You could also dump a bag of frozen stir-fried vegetables into the slow cooker for the last 20 minutes of cook time for the chicken.

We are happy that you found our blog!
Smells yummy already!
I used frozen chicken thighs because I had them. I only used 1/2 cup of Soy Sauce(I use BRAGG's and it is costly) and 1/2 cup of sugar and dried onion flakes(my kids hate onion but don't mind the dried onion)
I made some very thin rice noodles, and made some veggie stir fry as well. Placed the noodles with some Teriyaki sauce on a bowl and topped it with the chicken and veggies, everyone at it all up!
I was also thinking that you could marinate the chicken the night before to intensify the flavors if desired.
I just want to thank you for sharing this awesome recipe. I am featuring your dish on my blog today. Thank you again!!
I used real garlic butother than that I made it as stated.
I think next time I will use teriyaki sauce or low sodium soy sauce and add veggies try to tweat it a bit more to my liking. Besides the saltiness it was very good.
Sorry it took so long to respond. Hope it turned out okay! I am sure that is fine to still cook as directed!
Great recipe! Thanks for sharing. :)
