Toss frozen broccoli and chicken into the pot, add just two pantry staples, and let it cook. The result is a sticky, savory dish so good your family will think you spent hours making it.
This 4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken and Broccoli is a simple, homemade take on a classic takeout favorite. The savory depth of teriyaki sauce blends with the natural sweetness of honey to form a rich, glossy coating that clings to every bite. As it cooks, the chicken turns tender and juicy while the broccoli releases just enough moisture to create a flavorful, well-balanced sauce—all in one pot.
4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken and Broccoli
Ingredients
- 1½ lbs chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 4 cups frozen broccoli florets
- ¾ cup bottled teriyaki sauce
- ¼ cup honey
Instructions
1. Prepare the chicken
Spread the diced chicken evenly across the bottom of a 4–6 quart slow cooker. Keeping the pieces uniform helps ensure even cooking.
2. Add the broccoli
Place the frozen broccoli on top of the chicken. Adding it while frozen helps preserve its texture and contributes moisture as it cooks.
3. Combine the sauce
In a small bowl, mix the teriyaki sauce and honey until well blended. Pour the mixture over the chicken and broccoli, gently stirring to coat.
4. Cook thoroughly
Cover and cook on LOW for 3½–4½ hours or HIGH for 2–2½ hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
5. Finish and serve
Stir everything once more to evenly coat in the thickened sauce, then serve warm.
