Teriyaki chicken (slow cooker) - Real Recipes from Mums

This is a quick and easy slow cooker version of teriyaki chicken, a Japanese favourite. It’s full of flavour!

Ingredients (serves 4)

1 Brown onion (finely chopped)
3 Garlic cloves (crushed)
1/2 Cup Soy sauce (or Tamari for a low salt alternative)
1/2 Cup Honey
1 Tbsp Grated ginger
Pinch Black pepper
4 Chicken breasts

Method

Place onion, garlic, soy sauce, honey, ginger and pepper in the crock pot of a slow cooker. Stir well to combine.
Add chicken breasts and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours. After the cooking time, shred the chicken breasts using two forks. If the sauce is a bit runny you can add some cornflour (mixed with water) and cook for a further 10 minutes on high.
Serve with rice and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped spring onion.

Notes

This is a family favourite. I love that it is a genuine one pot recipe which means minimal clean up and it is so quick and easy to prepare! I also serve it with some greens like beans or broccoli.

I am absolutely loving these Slow Cooker recipes. This appliance is on high rotation in my house and I am always looking for different and new recipes to try. I stroll the supermarket aisles looking for slow cooker recipe bases and/or anything to inspire me. I love this forum where I can learn so many new ideas. Thanks so much. I love teriyaki and this is going on the meal list for this week.

Sounds good ! I wouldn’t like to heat my beautiful raw honey and destroy all it nutritions, but that is easy to substitute.

We had this for dinner tonight! So simple to make (I was able to do the prep work and have it in the slow cooker while Bub had his morning nap), and it was a hit with everyone!
Will be adding this to our regular meals.

Wow how easy is this recipe and so basic yet so delicious. This will likely become a regular in our house. I’d serve it with snowpeas and julienne carrots.
