A simple and flavorful crockpot recipe featuring tender chicken in a sweet and savory teriyaki sauce, perfect for busy nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated or minced
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water (for slurry)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
  • Green onions (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and water until fully combined.
  2. Arrange chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of the crockpot.
  3. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
  5. About 20 minutes before serving, remove the chicken and set it aside. Mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Stir this into the sauce in the crockpot and cook on high for 15-20 minutes until thickened.
  6. Use two forks to shred the chicken or slice it into pieces, then return it to the crockpot to soak up the sauce.
  7. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, if desired, and serve over rice, noodles, or veggies.

Notes

[‘Chicken thighs can be used for a juicier option.’, ‘Double the sauce if you prefer extra for drizzling over rice.’, ‘Monitor cooking time to avoid overcooking the chicken.’, ‘Prep the sauce ingredients the night before for quicker setup.’]
