Crock Pot Teriyaki Chicken | An Easy Weeknight Meal

Me and my Crock Pot are on speaking terms again. Not that we weren’t ever NOT on speaking terms…sometimes I forget it exists. ANYWAYS, it’s still hot in Portland and I’m still lazy…so…the crockpot is clawing its way back onto my counter appliance food chain and we are eating like there’s no tomorrow.

I made this Crock Pot Teriyaki Chicken recipe a few weeks ago and just about died. So easy. 10 minutes of prep. Ridiculously tasty. Did not heat up my house.

The end.

Make this and enjoy the slow-cooked goodness that is this chicken.

How to make Crock Pot Teriyaki Chicken

1. In a crockpot, throw in some chicken breasts, teriyaki sauce, pineapple chunks {with all that juice too}, diced red peppers, and red onion.
2. Add a lid, click it to high and let ‘er rip for 3-4 hours which basically means until the chicken shreds just by looking at it.
3. And that’s it. Enjoy over rice, quinoa or by itself. So so delicious any way you do it.

Everyone in my family loved this and my 5-year-old daughter even asked for seconds. Shocking stuff, especially if you know my daughter at all.

Save or pin this recipe for later, folks! It’s the perfect weeknight meal!
