Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken and Vegetables

Author: Deals to Meals

Ingredients

  • 4-5 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2-3 cups Yoshida's Oriental Sauce or Teriyaki Sauce or make homemade
  • 1-2 red bell peppers diced
  • 1 large bunch broccoli
  • 1 onion diced
  • Cooked rice brown or white

Instructions

  • Place the chicken into a crock pot. Add a half of a cup of the Yoshida's sauce over the chicken. Turn the crock pot to low heat and cook the chicken for 4-5 hours (or 3-4 hours on high heat), or until the chicken is tender and able to shred. Once the chicken is cooked, remove most of the juices from the chicken and keep the chicken in the crock pot. Pour the remaining Yoshida's or Teriyaki sauce over the chicken and shred into large pieces. Put the lid back on the chicken and let it keep warm while you prepare the vegetables and the rice.
  • Cook the rice in a rice cooker or on the stove until tender. For the vegetables, rinse off the vegetables and cut them into bite sized pieces. In a saute pan, add a drizzle of olive oil (or sesame oil) and turn the heat to medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until tender. Add the cut up pepper and broccoli and continue to saute, just until soft, but not mushy. Add the vegetables to the crock pot. Once the rice is cooked, serve the shredded chicken and vegetables over the rice. If you need more sauce, add more sauce to your bowl as needed. Garnish with sesame seeds (optional).

Notes

HEALTHIER OPTION: Serve over brown rice instead of white rice.
