Total Time: 6 hours 5 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken breasts
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 cup broccoli florets
Instructions
Step 1: Add the chicken and sauce
Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the top, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated.
Step 2: Slow cook to perfection
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours. The chicken will turn tender and absorb the rich teriyaki flavor.
Step 3: Add the broccoli
In the last 30 minutes of cooking, add the broccoli florets. Stir gently to combine. This keeps the broccoli fresh and slightly crisp.
Step 4: Serve and enjoy
Shred or slice the chicken and serve it with the sauce and broccoli over steamed rice or noodles.
Pro Tips
- Use frozen broccoli: You can add it directly without thawing.
- For a thicker sauce: Mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water, then stir into the crockpot during the last 10 minutes.
- Make it sweeter: Add 1 tablespoon of honey or brown sugar to the sauce before cooking.
