Recipe Review: Crock Pot Chicken Teriyaki

Lately I've been wanting to try more crock pot recipes because they are great time-savers. Also, on days when its SUPER hot outside, the oven is the last thing you want to use.

 

This recipe is awesome because it doesn't have a lot of ingredients

and it takes just minutes to prepare.

Here's what you need:

-1lb chicken breast

-1 cup chicken broth

-1/2 cup teriyaki sauce (I used Mr. Yoshida's Sweet Teriyaki sauce, 

and it was awesome. Not too salty!)

-1/2 cup brown sugar

-3 garlic cloves minced

 

I tweaked the directions a little bit so here's what I did:

 

1. Who the heck knows how much a pound of chicken is? So I just used three chicken breasts and that was enough for 2 people + a little leftovers. Put the chicken in the crock pot whole.

 

2. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well and pour over chicken. (Side note: I could have totally done without the garlic cloves, I couldn't really taste them and it wasn't worth the hassle in my opinion.)

Remember, use THIS SAUCE:

3. Cook on high for about 4 hours (or low for 6). Pull out chicken and cut into thickest parts to make sure there isn't any pink. If chicken is all done,

leave it on plate and shred it using 2 forks and put back in crock pot. 

You can either turn off your crock pot at this point,

or put it on warm if you have that setting.

 

5. Make some rice to pour the chicken over!

 

We will for sure be having this again! My only regret is that I didn't make enough rice to go with the leftover chicken.
