Step-by-Step Instructions for Crockpot Teriyaki Chicken
  1. Start by lightly coating the inside of your crockpot with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Place 2 lbs of boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs in an even layer at the bottom of the crockpot.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of teriyaki sauce, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of honey or brown sugar, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger.
  4. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring every piece is generously coated.
  5. Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours.
  6. Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken from the crockpot and place it on a cutting board. Shred or slice the chicken to your preference.
  7. Return the shredded or sliced chicken back into the crockpot and stir gently to coat all pieces with the delicious sauce.
  8. Serve your warm Crockpot Teriyaki Chicken over fluffy rice, noodles, or with steamed vegetables.
