If you’ve ever had one of those days where the last thing you want to do is cook, you’re not alone.
With busy schedules, it’s easy to fall into the trap of grabbing frozen meals or whipping up the same old mac and cheese.
But what if you could have a delicious homemade meal without spending hours in the kitchen?
That’s where slow cookers come in!
Kayli Butler, a well-known mom and social media influencer, shared a simple and tasty recipe for teriyaki chicken that’s perfect for those hectic days.
As Kayli says, “It’s great for busy parents, college students, or anyone who is always in a rush.”
The best part? It’s easy to prepare and requires minimal effort.
To make this “Quick and Easy Teriyaki Chicken,” you’ll need just a few ingredients:
- frozen chicken breasts (5 or 6)
- ½ cup of brown sugar
- ½ cup of soy sauce
- baby carrots
- chopped broccoli
If you want to add extra vegetables, feel free to throw in some of your favorites like onions, peppers, or cauliflower.
Kayli got this recipe from a friend, and it’s become a family favorite.
The recipe can easily be adjusted to suit your family’s size and preferences, so don’t worry if you need to tweak it a bit.
Just remember that because it’s a slow cooker recipe, you’ll need to set aside about seven hours of cook time.
The process is super simple.
First, you place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
Then, add the brown sugar and soy sauce on top.
Kayli mentions that any brand of soy sauce will do, so no need to stress over finding something fancy.
Set your slow cooker to “high” and let it cook for about five hours.
After the initial five hours, it’s time to add the baby carrots.
The quantity is entirely up to you!
As Kayli advises, “Just add as many carrots as you like. If you don’t like carrots, don’t add as many. Or, you don’t have to add any if you don’t want to!”
Once you’ve added the carrots, let it cook for another hour.
Next, you’ll toss in the chopped broccoli.
If you’re a veggie lover, this is the perfect time to throw in any other vegetables you enjoy.
Onions, peppers, or cauliflower would make great additions.
After adding the veggies, place the cover back on and let it cook for one more hour.
And just like that, your teriyaki chicken is ready to serve!
This versatile dish can be enjoyed in many ways.
Serve it plain, over a bed of rice or noodles, or even on top of a salad.
It’s a flavorful, wholesome meal with almost no effort on your part.
Many who have tried this recipe rave about it.
