Dust off that slow cooker and try this easy Slow Cooker Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken, your family will love it!
It’s been very hot in Oregon already this year. Usually, the weather stays cool until the end of June. On Saturday it was over 100 degrees! With the weather being so darn hot, I am using my slow cooker even more. to whip up some of my best crock pot recipes!
I made this delicious Slow Cooker Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken for dinner. It was perfect! I used my favorite sauce, Soy Vay Veri Veri Teriyaki (pictured below). You can find this sauce in on the Asian aisle at most stores. I recommend not subbing out the sauce for a different one, Soy Vay isn’t thick and gummy like other teriyaki sauces, and it did very well in the slow cooker without burning.

This recipe is wonderful! Minimal ingredients, slow-cooker, delicious! Doesn’t get any better than that. Thanks for suggesting the Soy Vay Veri Teriyaki. I bought the low sodium version…just right. Only thing I did differently was to add a little cornstarch mixed in cold water at the end. Turned the slow-cooker up to high for about 15 minutes to thicken the sauce.. This will definitely go into my rotation!

Great tips on the low sodium teriyaki sauce, and thickening with cornstarch! I will have to try that Karen. 🙂
jazz says
did it really only take 4.5 hrs on LOW. every other recipe ive found has said 6-8 hrs on low or 4 on HIGH???? same amount of chicken used in every single one
Sarah O says
Yes, something with this much sugar in it does better on LOW for that amount of time. The edges start to burn on high, or longer time. If the lid is opened while it cooks it will take longer.

This was very yummy! I did do one thing differently, I chopped my chicken into 1/4-1/2 inch pieces, it helped it cook quicker plus more of the chicken absorbed the juice! Just a thought! Very yummy!
