4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken and Broccoli
4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken and Broccoli is an easy dinner with tender chicken, saucy broccoli, and sweet-savory flavor. Frozen broccoli and bottled teriyaki sauce make this slow cooker meal quick to assemble.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts diced into about 1-inch pieces
- 4 cups frozen broccoli florets use straight from the freezer; do not thaw
- 3/4 cup bottled teriyaki sauce use one your family likes
- 1/4 cup honey regular squeeze-bottle honey works well
Instructions
- Place the diced chicken breasts in the bottom of a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker and spread them into a fairly even layer.
- Pour the frozen broccoli florets over the chicken without thawing them first.
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the bottled teriyaki sauce and honey until the honey is blended in and the sauce looks smooth.
- Pour the teriyaki-honey mixture evenly over the chicken and broccoli, then gently stir so everything is lightly coated.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours, or on HIGH for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender and the broccoli is hot and just soft.
- Stir everything well so the chicken and broccoli are coated in the thickened, sticky sauce, then serve hot over rice or noodles with extra sauce spooned over the top.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat gently in the microwave with a small splash of water if the sauce is too thick, stirring halfway through, or warm in a skillet over low heat. The broccoli will be softer after reheating. For a thicker sauce, stir 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water and mix it into the slow cooker during the last 20 to 30 minutes on HIGH.
