Instructions
- Prepare the sauce mixture: In a large bowl, combine chicken broth, teriyaki sauce, brown sugar, and minced garlic cloves. Stir well until the brown sugar is dissolved and ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
- Coat the chicken: Add the diced chicken to the sauce mixture and toss to coat all pieces evenly with the teriyaki sauce blend.
- Transfer to Crock-Pot: Pour the chicken and sauce mixture into your Crock-Pot or slow cooker, spreading it evenly.
- Slow cook the chicken: Set the Crock-Pot to low heat and cook for 4-6 hours, or until the chicken pieces are fully cooked, tender, and infused with the sauce flavors.
- Serve: Spoon the chicken teriyaki over hot cooked rice and drizzle extra sauce from the pot over the top for enhanced flavor. Enjoy your warm and savory meal!
Notes
- You can substitute chicken thighs for a juicier and more flavorful option.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, thicken it by transferring some sauce to a saucepan and simmering until reduced.
- Serve with steamed vegetables like broccoli or snap peas for added nutrition and color.
- Adjust brown sugar quantity for less sweetness if desired.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
