Do you love Asian flavored foods as much as I do?
I've been on the hunt for a better tasting easy Chicken Teriyaki recipe (the 1st one I tried wasn't the greatest.) This recipe certainly did the trick! It was excellent and got the thumbs up from the entire family, including my picky 7 year old.
What I liked most was that I was able to prepare almost the entire dish in the crock pot. (Once the chicken is cooked, you will need to thicken the sauce on the stove top.)
I won't keep you in suspense any longer (wink)... Here is the recipe:

Crock Pot Teriyaki (adapted from Lake Lure Cottage Kitchen)
Ingredients:
- 3 to 4 lbs of boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup soy sauce
- 6 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 3/4 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 4 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 4 1/2 teaspoons cold water
- Cooked rice (Whatever type you like, I used brown rice.)
- Place chicken in the slow cooker.
- In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic and pepper.
- Pour over chicken.
- Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or until chicken is tender.
- Remove chicken from the slow cooker.
- Skim fat from cooking liquid. (Wow, who knew there is so much fat in chicken thighs! Now I know why they taste so good. This is another reason I need a fat separator, I just used a spoon to skim the fat...)
- Place liquid in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Combine cornstarch and water until smooth, then gradually stir into liquid and stir until sauce is thickened.
To serve, top rice with chicken and cover with the Teriyaki Sauce.
Enjoy!

Fantastic recipe! I love that you use a slow cooker. It makes it really great not only for convenience, but also for the summer (heat). Can't wait to try this - thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOhhh, this sounds great! Your picture makes it look exactly like something we would eat. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh, that looks soo good right now! I am hungry for lunch but it isn't nearly close to being time yet. At least I have some food eye candy, right?
ReplyDeleteWould you consider linking up at my Pinworthy Projects Party? I hope to see you there!

This sounds delicious and I'm always looking for great crock pot recipes! Pinned!
ReplyDeleteVisiting from Craft-o-Maniac :)
oh yum... this looks delish
ReplyDeleteI love that you actually made a sauce. I see so many of these types of "recipes" where someone literally pours a bottle of store bought sauce over chicken and thinks they discovered something new. And with only a few ingredients, it would not take someone very long to make it from scratch.
ReplyDeleteThis really does sound good. And...I live in Barranquilla, Colombia with no oven and love new crock pot ideas!

ReplyDeleteI was referred by Jessica from cajunlicious. I just made this and it IS very good. PINNED!
ReplyDeleteWe love Teriyaki Chicken. Never thought about putting it in the crockpot though! Have a blessed day :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks fabulous! I might be adding this to my menu for next week. Do you think that veggies could be added in crock pot while the chicken cooked?
ReplyDeleteI am afraid the veggies might get really mushy if you add them too soon. Maybe just in the last 30 minutes? If I were to add veggies, I might just microwave them and just add them when mixing everything together. If you try it, let us know what works...

I made this tonight. DELICIOUS! I was too lazy to thicken the sauce (and also didn't want another dish to wash) so I added the cornstarch mixture straight to the crock pot after removing the chicken. I shredded the chicken and put it back in and let it all heat up. The mixture didn't thicken, but the rice soaked it up and it was sooooo good.

I made this the other night and it was awesome!! Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteI put in a can of crushed pineapple w/ the juice and left out the sugar. It wasn't sweet enough but the pineapple was a nice addition. Will definitely try this again. Quick and easy.
ReplyDeleteI'm making this tonight. I used honey instead of sugar :)
ReplyDeleteI tried making this today and when I opened the crockpot to get the chicken out, there was a black layer on the bottom of the breasts. Not sure if I burned the sugar or what? I used a crockpot liner (one of those plastic bag kind...do you think THAT could make a difference? Well now I have been smelling it all day and Im sad... Panda Express will have to do for tonight. I WILL be trying this again... Any advice you can give me would be awesome.
ReplyDeleteThat bites, I'm sorry... I used a crock pot liner too, all I can think is maybe it is because you used breasts instead of thighs and breasts don't have as much fat in them. Also, the recipe call for you to cook them on low for 4 to 5 hours and any more than that might cause them to burn. I am no expert though...

Alright... We are gonna chalk this one up to mom brain... I was even thinking as I prepped my chicken "I bet this would be etter with thighs". Thing is I re-read the recipe more than once and every time I saw "breasts"... Oh the joys of a busy life... I can't wait to try it again... As for now, I sit here grumpily eating Chick-Fil-A because Panda Express was voted down... Blah... ;-)
ReplyDeleteI am usually a bit doubtful whenever I try a new recipe - it rarely turns out exactly as it says. However, I was very pleasantly surprised with this one! I doubled the recipe since my family includes a teen with an insatiable appetite. It turned out exactly as described and the cornstarch "slurry" did its job perfectly. This recipe is definitely a keeper! Thank you!
