This slow cooker teriyaki chicken recipe will become your new family fav….
This Recipe Came To Us From An Angel…
After the birth of my son, my mom friends showered my family and I with love, adoration and delicious home cooked meals to last us over a month. I was forever grateful for each meal, they saved us from my husband’s cooking which meant *certain death by starvation*. However, one meal stuck out amongst the rest and that was a crock pot teriyaki chicken dish made by my friend Andrea. My family and I immediately fell in love with Andrea’s meal that came hot to our door when my son was only about a week old. We now have this very slow cooker teriyaki chicken recipe at least once a month. I owe this recipe and our families happy tummy all to Andrea!
The thing I love most about crock pot meals is the fix it and forget it easiness of it all. Unlike some meals that you have to stand at the stove and stir, a slow cooker meal just takes a few minutes of prep and that’s it. Before you know it, you’ll have a most delicious home cooked meal to serve your family.
The Perfect Busy-Weekday Meal…

How much red pepper flakes? 1/4 t or T? I hate to be dense (sorry)
1/4 Teaspoon! Unless you like super hot stuff, then you can add more.
This was sooo delicious! My family all loved it! We have company coming over tomorrow and I am planning on making this again. Thanks for posting!
That is so seriously awesome to hear, thank you for sharing!
The flavors are great and it’s an easy recipe, but my sauce didn’t thicken at all. I even added a bit extra to see if it would help and left it on high longer but finally gave up. Any suggestions on how to thicken the sauce successfully next time?
Thanks so much, I appreciate the help!
Hmm, interesting dilemma. I’ve never had this problem myself. The broth/liquid should get thick but not like a gravy. Is is super duper watery when you cook it?
