Crock-Pot Teriyaki Chicken

Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken

A friend of mine shared how she made teriyaki chicken in the slow cooker and it sounded easy enough…cut up boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs in the slow cooker and pour a bottle of teriyaki sauce over it and cook it for a couple of hours.

I tried it her way and to be honest it was just “okay” and sort of bland.

So I decided to play with the recipe a little bit and came up with something that tastes better.

I am not going to pull your leg on this one though…cooking a teriyaki chicken stir fry is much easier and quicker on the stove-top in a skillet and you’re not going to get any better flavor cooking it in the slow cooker.

I may just be shooting myself in the foot with this recipe because this is after all a slow cooker recipe blog. But I think honesty is the best policy. And my honest opinion is that some recipes are better NOT cooked in the slow cooker.

That being said…if you are a die hard slow cooker user or maybe you don’t have a stove-top to cook on (I know we have several readers who don’t…they are traveling in RV’s or trucks, they are remodeling their kitchens or their stove just went up and broke on them) and you have a hankering for some teriyaki chicken then go ahead and give this recipe a try.

My kids liked it and ate it and even had seconds so it is actually pretty good! The key is that I used a bottle of Kikkoman Teriyaki Baste and Glaze, canned pineapple (the liquid from the can while cooking, the chucks of pineapple added near the end) and some ginger, garlic and brown sugar to add a lot more flavor. YUM

Love, peace and honesty 🙂

  • Cover and cook 2 to 3 hours on low till chicken is done, stirring half way through cooking time to break up chicken.

We served this over steamed jasmine rice, however any white or brown rice or even noodles would be good too. To make this recipe gluten-free be sure to use a gluten-free teriyaki sauce such as those made by San-J.

    I looked under gluten-free recepies and these are not gluten-free. Teriaki sauce is not g/f. There is a wine recepie too under g/f. alot of wines aren’t g/f. I haven’t looked at the rest, just thought you would want to know that these recepies are coming up under the wronge catagory.

    Hello. I am having a problem finding the Kikkoman Teriyaki Baste and Glaze with Pineapple/Honey. I did find the plain Kikkoman Teriyaki Baste and Glaze. Will that work for this recipe? Should I add any other ingredients to makeup for the change?

      Hi Monica, I have been having a harder time finding it locally here too in recent months. I am wondering if maybe they have discontinued it?

      Either way, the regular Teriyaki Baste and Glaze will work just fine. You should not need to add any other ingredients. The flavor is pretty similar with the Pineapple one having just a touch of pineapple flavor. If you really want to add that you can add in some pineapple juice (maybe 1/4 cup) but I wouldn’t go out of my way to buy pineapple juice just for this recipe.
