Need a new go-to dinner recipe? This Slow Cooker Chicken Teriyaki is SO simple - it takes just a few minutes to throw into the crock pot and it always tastes amazing!

Provided by Six Sisters Stuff

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (frozen chicken breasts work great)
1 (10 ounce) bottle Teriyaki sauce
1 (16 ounce) bag frozen stir fry vegetables
4 cups cooked rice

Steps:

  • Spray your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray. Place your chicken in the crock pot.
  • Pour the teriyaki sauce all over it (I use about 1/2-3/4 of the bottle).
  • Cook for about 4 hours on high or 6 hours on low (you want to make sure it is cooked, but don't over cook it or the chicken will be dry).
  • About 10 minutes before you eat, stir-fry the veggies on your stove top (or even your microwave). I have thrown my veggies into the crock pot to cook with the chicken before, but I don't like it as much that way because they tend to get mushy.
  • Place some rice in a bowl, put veggies on next, then throw your chicken on top.
  • If you need extra sauce to put on top, you can use what is in the crock pot or what is leftover in your Teriyaki bottle.
