How to Make Sweet Teriyaki Chicken in a Crock Pot

Aunt Lou here.

This Crock Pot Sweet Teriyaki Chicken recipe was one of those “hit it out of the park” recipes. The chicken was flavorful, tender and juicy and the sauce just takes it over the top! My family all gobbled this dish right up!

For ours, I did the extra steps to to thicken the sauce. We like the sauce thickened. If you do not care if the sauce is thick or thin, feel free to skip those steps. It does not change the taste, only the thickness of the sauce. We also served ours over rice. Again, it is totally up to you if you want to eat this on its own or over rice. Feel free to make it your own!

What You Will Need

Ingredients Needed

• 2.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken (We used chicken breasts since they were on sale!)
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1 cup honey
• 1/4 c bbq sauce
• 1/4 c teriyaki sauce
• 1/4 c soy sauce
• 1 clove garlic minced
• 2 tablespoons corn starch (optional)
• 2 tablespoons water (optional)
• Cooked rice (optional)

Equipment Needed

• Measuring spoons
• Skillet
• Tongs or spatula (for flipping your chicken when browning)
• Measuring cups
• Medium bowl
• Spoon or stirring spatula
• 6 quart slow cooker
• Small bowl or coffee cup (optional)
• Medium saucepan (optional)

Time Needed

• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cooking Time: 4 hours on low or 2 hours on high (It is done when your chicken reaches safe internal temperature. You can find a chart of all safe internal cooking temperatures here.)
• Optional Cooking Time for Thickening Sauce: 10 minutes at a simmer and 10 minutes to stand and thicken

General Notes

• The sauce isn’t quite as dark as it is showing up in the pictures. For some reason, it looks darker in the photos than it does in real life.
• Looking for more recipes? Our Recipe Finder can help you find exactly what you need.
• Check out all our favorite recommendations for cookbooks, slow cookers and low carb essentials in our Amazon Influencer Shop.
• As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
• All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
