Discover an easy and delicious Dump and Go Crockpot Teriyaki Chicken recipe, perfect for busy weeknights and casual family dinners. This flavorful dish requires minimal effort and delivers tender chicken coated in savory teriyaki sauce, making it a quick and satisfying meal for everyone.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free version
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar or honey
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot powder (for thickening)
  • 2 tablespoons water (for slurry)
  • Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts or thighs into the Crock-Pot. Pour soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger over the chicken. No need to stir, just dump everything into the slow cooker.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours until the chicken is tender and infused with flavor.
  3. Remove the cooked chicken and set aside. Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then pour into the crockpot. Turn to high and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes to thicken the sauce.
  4. Shred or slice the chicken and return it to the crockpot to coat with the sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve over steamed rice or your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium soy sauce for a healthier option.
  • Adjust cooking time if using frozen chicken; add about an extra hour.
  • For extra flavor, add pineapple juice or red pepper flakes.
  • Serve with steamed vegetables or a crisp salad for a complete meal.
