Dump and Go Crockpot Teriyaki Chicken is an easy slow cooker meal made with tender chicken cooked in a sweet and savory teriyaki sauce. This simple recipe requires minimal prep and creates a flavorful dinner perfect for serving with rice or vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional)
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts or chicken thighs into the crockpot.
  2. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and rice vinegar.
  3. Pour the teriyaki sauce mixture over the chicken in the crockpot.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or on high for 2–3 hours until the chicken is tender.
  5. Remove the chicken and shred it using two forks if desired.
  6. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry.
  7. Stir the slurry into the crockpot sauce and cook for an additional 10–15 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  8. Return the chicken to the crockpot and mix well with the thickened teriyaki sauce.
  9. Serve the chicken over rice or with vegetables.
  10. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

  • Chicken thighs remain extra tender during slow cooking.
  • Shredded chicken absorbs more teriyaki sauce for stronger flavor.
  • If the sauce becomes too thick, add a small amount of water or broth.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
