Love Chicken Teriyaki but feel like it takes too long to make? Well, not any more! With this crockpot recipe, you can set it and go . . . and you’re always sure to have a delicious meal when you get home!
In our house, we’re trying to get a few more vegetables into our regular diets. We get into a rut with little to no veggies and our bodies start demanding it. This recipe calls for carrots and broccoli florets. If you’re a fan, you can add even more to the slow cooker for more vegetable flavor! To me, the more broccoli in it, the better the dish is. And, we need all of the vegetables we can get!
How Do You Make Chicken Teriyaki in the Slow Cooker?
- Place chicken & baby carrots in bottom of slow cooker.
- In a small bowl, whisk together chicken broth, teriyaki sauce, brown sugar and garlic. Pour over chicken.
- Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours.
- Remove chicken from slow cooker and slice or shred.
- Stir in frozen broccoli and cook for another 30 minutes.
- Serve by placing cooked fried rice in individual bowls. Top with chicken, extra sauce from slow cooker and soy sauce (optional).
What Can I use as a Substitute for Teriyaki Sauce?
You can substitute, by making your own sauce. Here’s a common sauce that you can make:
- 1/2 cup soy sauce.
- 1/4 cup water.
- 2 tablespoons sweet rice wine.
- 1 tablespoon, plus 2 teaspoons brown sugar.
- 1/4 cup sugar.

Combine ingredients in a saucepan on medium heat until the sugar is dissolved.
What is a Good Side for Teriyaki Chicken?
I think that serving it over Fried Rice makes it a perfect meal, but if you are looking for additional sides, you could try one of the following:
- Fried Rice
- Vegetable Stir Fry
- Green Beans
- Broccoli with cheese
- Carrots with salt and butter
- Salad
- Roasted asparagus in olive oil with a little salt.
