Since this is a slow cooker recipe, it’s not a quick dinner, but definitely easy, delicious and healthy. It has a short ingredient list and you don’t need much active time from prep.

A Quick and Easy Crockpot Chicken Dinner

That’s why I love my crockpot so much. I love when dinner can cook itself.  Moreover I love the results. There’s nothing better than chicken cooked in slow cooker. Crockpot chicken is always cooked to perfection. It simply melts in your mouth. It’s incredibly soft, tender and juicy. You can shred it easily with a fork, it basically falls apart.

Teriyaki chicken is a classic, but cooking in crockpot make a huge different. Easy Crockpot Teriyaki Chicken is out of this world!

The Best Homemade Teriyaki Sauce Recipe

On the other hand, this homemade teriyaki sauce is awesome. Using honey as a sweetener unlike the majority of recipes that use sugar, make a huge difference in flavor. When I found this recipe I knew I have to try it.

Homemade tender chicken with sweet and savory glaze is better than any take out meal.

Given these points, this Easy Crockpot Teriyaki Chicken should find a place at your dinner rotation. I’m sure your family will love it.

Instructions

  1. In the bottom of crockpot , arrange chicken breasts in a single .
  2. In a bowl stir together minced garlic, onion, ground ginger, ground pepper, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and honey. Pour the mixture over chicken and cook on high 4-5 hours.

  3. Transfer the chicken on a plate and shred with a fork.
  4. Place remaining teriyaki mixture from crockpot to a medium sauce pan.

Can you put the chicken in ‘frozen’ or should it be thawed to start?

Reply
Perdita February 26, 2017 - 3:42 pm

Should the chicken breast be thawed first?

Reply
Vera Zecevic March 4, 2017 - 5:56 pm

Hi Perdita, yes thaw them first.

Followed the recipe to a T and not sure what I did wrong. The chicken turned out shredded (looks nothing like pic lol) and although the sauce isn’t bad it’s overwhelming.
