Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing your boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs into a 6-quart slow cooker. Pour 1 cup of thick teriyaki sauce over the chicken, ensuring it's well-coated. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger.
  2. Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
  3. Once the cooking time is up, carefully remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it into bite-sized pieces.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth to create a slurry.
  5. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir in the cornstarch slurry, then cook on HIGH for an additional 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. Add 3 cups of broccoli florets to the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for another 20-30 minutes.
  7. Serve the Crockpot Teriyaki Chicken over cooked rice, garnishing with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
