Ingredients

• Chicken Breast
• Soy Sauce
• Teriyaki Sauce
• Sesame Oil
• Brown Sugar
• Pineapples & Juice
• Veggies
• Onion
• Garlic
• Ginger

The chicken breast, soy sauce and teriyaki sauce are the cornerstones of this recipe. I think it tastes best as written, but there is room for customization or omission among the other ingredients depending on your tastes and dietary needs.

For the vegetables, I like to use chopped red and green bell peppers. You may like to use something else depending on what you have on hand or is on sale. Other common vegetables that go well in chicken teriyaki include carrots, broccoli, and snow peas.

How to Make

Simply place all of the ingredients into a Ziploc bag or other sealable container. Store in the freezer. Thaw in the refrigerator the night before cooking. Dump all the ingredients in a crock pot and cook on low for 4-6 hours until the chicken is 165°F internally and vegetables are soft.

We like to serve this dish with cauliflower rice, or white rice.
