Making Crockpot Teriyaki Chicken is easy and requires just a few simple steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.
2. Mix the Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix together the teriyaki sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
3. Pour the Sauce: Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken in the crockpot.
4. Add Vegetables: Layer the sliced bell pepper and onion on top of the chicken.
5. Add Pineapple: Sprinkle the pineapple chunks over the top of the vegetables.
6. Set the Crockpot: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours.
7. Check Doneness: About 30 minutes before serving, check the chicken for doneness. If it shreds easily, it’s ready!
8. Shred the Chicken: Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces, allowing it to soak in the sauce.
9. Final Garnish: Serve the teriyaki chicken over cooked rice or quinoa and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
