# 6 - Crock Pot Teriyaki Chicken

What it's supposed to look like.

I surprisingly had everything in my kitchen for this, so I decided to give it a try and make dinner easy and quick. (Quick meaning prep work, not actual cook time since this is a crock pot recipe so yeah, takes at least 4 hours to cook.) Since it was a last minute decision my pictures aren't so cute! But the meal is delish regardless. Served it over rice so I doubled the sauce recipe because my guys like the extra juice to flavor the rice. 

**Below is recipe as Becoming Betty instructed, not doubled.

What you need:
  • 1 TB cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger
  • 1 pkg chicken tenders, frozen or thawed


Combine in a pot all ingredients except chicken. Stir over medium heat until thickened.


Pour sauce over chicken in crock pot. (Lump of frozen chicken tenders is appealing, no?)

Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or if you're in a hurry like I was, cook on high for 3-4 hours instead.



This was so simple and really tasty. Adults and teens all liked it and it was fast and cheap enough that I'm sure I'll make it often.


That's it! Have a great meal and express your saucy side!
