4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken and Broccoli
Ingredients
- 1½ lbs chicken breasts, diced into 1-inch pieces
- 4 cups frozen broccoli florets
- ¾ cup bottled teriyaki sauce
- ¼ cup honey
Instructions
1. Add the chicken
Place the diced chicken evenly in the bottom of a 4–6 quart slow cooker. Cutting the pieces to a similar size helps them cook evenly.
2. Add the broccoli
Layer the frozen broccoli on top of the chicken. Using it straight from frozen helps maintain texture and adds moisture during cooking.
3. Mix the sauce
In a bowl, stir together the teriyaki sauce and honey until smooth. Pour over the chicken and broccoli, gently tossing to coat everything.
4. Cook
Cover and cook on LOW for 3½–4½ hours or HIGH for 2–2½ hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened.
5. Stir and serve
Give everything a final stir to coat in the thickened glaze, then serve warm.
