Nothing is better than a great homemade Slow Cooker Chicken Teriyaki. Serve over rice for another wonderful, healthy dinner choice.
EASY SLOW COOKER CHICKEN TERIYAKI
This chicken teriyaki was the hit of the week in our house! It is so nice to hear everyone happily tell me how much they like something new. Thank you. Thank you very much my sweet family!
I really love that I can make the teriyaki sauce so easily without buying a bottle at the stove. It is so much easier than I thought too!
Plus the fact there is no high fructose corn syrup or other artificial ingredients that you may find in store bought versions.
Just load it all in your slow cooker in the morning and be ready for a healthy meal on the table at dinner time.
We love it serve over a rice and even add a little steamed broccoli.
SLOW COOKER TERIYAKI INGREDIENTS
4 chicken breasts
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos for a gluten free version
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 TBSP ground ginger
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
1 TBSP cornstarch
3 TBSP water
HOW TO MAKE SLOW COOKER CHICKEN TERIYAKI
In a bowl mix together the honey, red wine vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, onion, ground ginger and pepper.
Add the chicken and turn to coat both sides with the sauce.
Cook in a Slow Cooker on low for about 4-5 hours
Remove from the Slow Cooker and shred the chicken with a fork. Then set aside.
Pour the remaining sauce through a fine mesh strainer
Transfer this remaining liquid into a medium sauce pan
Whisk together the cornstarch and cold water in a separate little bowl.
Once the sauce on the burner starts to boil, slowly pour the cornstarch mixture in, stirring constantly.
Return to a boil and then reduce to low and simmer for about 4 minutes until thickened.
Pour half the sauce over the chicken and mix together.
When you serve the chicken over rice, drizzle more sauce over the top for extra yumminess! Add broccoli for a perfect veggie.
ENJOY!!

It’s a huge bonus to have the option to use a low sodium product. Store bought sauces have so much salt in them. I’m not a huge fan of salt. I use it to cook with but that’s about it. Thank you for sharing and linking up to Scraptastic Saturdays. This post has been shared via Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. Have a wonderful weekend.

chicken was mushy and way to vinegary.

Tanzi Miller says
I’ve made this recipe a few times now! It is so yummy and simple, plus we usually always have the ingredients on hand!
Heather says
Has anyone tried this without a stovetop? Is it possible to add the sauce ingredients with the chicken? Or even maybe 30 mins before it is done? We will be without a stove, only crockpot and I’m trying to see if we can make this work.
Sherri says
I think it would be just fine! You may want to add the cornstarch to the sauce ingredients when adding it to the slow cooker to thicken the sauce up. 🙂
