Chicken Teriyaki is a no-prep freezer meal that you can make in under 10 minutes!

 

It uses simple and natural ingredients that pack in all the flavors of your favorite take-out meals.

 

When you make Chicken Teriyaki at home, you spare your family all of the mystery ingredients that can be found in some fast food.

 

To make your Chicken Teriyaki even healthier, just add more veggies! By adding onions, peppers, corn, snow peas, and/or brocolli, you can make a complete meal to have on hand for your family on busy nights.

How To Make Freezer Meal Chicken Teriyaki:

  1. Add all ingredients to freezer bag and shake to combine
  2. Remove air and seal
  3. Store in fridge up to 3 days for freezer up to 3 months
  4. Thaw overnight in fridge before cooking
  5. Add thawed contents of bag to slow cooker
  6. Set to high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8
  7. Shred chicken using forks
  8. Serve over rice or as desired

Pro Tips:

Substituting chicken thighs for breasts adds flavor, but also a bit more fat. If you’re needing to be health-conscious, stick with the breasts for a healthier option.

 

Tapioca flour is great for thickening. It never gets grainy.

 

If your teriyaki sauce is too thin, add more thickener and let it heat for and additional 15 minutes. If the sauce is too thick, just add a little more broth.

      It would need to be raw in order to cook with the carrots.
