Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 lb Chicken Choose thighs for richness or breasts for a lighter option.
For the Sauce
  • 1 cup Teriyaki Sauce Homemade is ideal for gluten-free diets.
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce Opt for low-sodium to manage salt content.
  • 1/4 cup Honey Provides sweetness; swap with maple syrup for a vegan alternative.
  • 4 cloves Garlic Freshly minced.
  • 2 tbsp Ginger Freshly grated.
For the Vegetables
  • 2 cups Bell Peppers Any variety.
  • 2 cups Broccoli Fresh or frozen.
For Garnish

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Start by trimming any excess fat from the chicken and cutting it into bite-sized pieces for faster cooking. Arrange the pieces in the bottom of your slow cooker, ensuring they are spread out evenly.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well blended. Pour the sauce over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated.
  3. Layer your chopped bell peppers and broccoli on top of the coated chicken. Cover the slow cooker with its lid.
  4. Set your slow cooker to low and let the dish simmer for 4 to 6 hours, or on high for 2 to 3 hours, until the chicken reaches at least 165°F (75°C).
  5. If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the chicken and vegetables and simmer the sauce in a saucepan until reduced. Return the chicken and veggies to the crockpot.
  6. Serve the Crockpot Teriyaki Chicken over rice or noodles, garnishing with sesame seeds and green onions.
