Slow Cooker Chicken Teriyaki [Recipe]

I’ve gone through different chicken teriyaki recipes but this one has stuck. It can be made in the Instant Pot or slow cooker, but I prefer the slow cooker. And it’s one of my I-don’t-have-to-think meals.

It takes about 3 hours in my slow cooker on high, which is perfect for those days the kids have late-afternoon activities that I have to go to. I turn it on about 3:30 so we can eat around 6:30 or 7. If we can do it earlier, I choose earlier!

I’ve adapted it to our tastes. First off, I prefer chicken thighs for flavor and keep them whole. I also like to steam the hard veggies (broccoli and carrots) separately and then saute with onions and red pepper right before serving. I add more chicken than called for (to satisfy hubby) and serve with either rice or noodles (kids prefer noodles). But that’s just me!

This recipe is adapted from Wannabite’s Crockpot Chicken Teriyaki

    I’ve also been doing a lot of stir-fry’s lately. I do a very similar one with a prepared soy-ginger sauce from Whole Foods (365 brand). I have recently been using brown rice noodles. I discovered that you don’t need to cook them – just soak in hot water for 8-10 minutes and then toss in the wok or pan with everything else. Yummy for kids and adults alike! Who doesn’t like noodles?
