To make prep even quicker, use the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper for rapidly dicing onions or slicing peppers if you’d like to load up your Teriyaki Chicken with extra veggies.

This recipe is a true dump-and-go: simply layer chicken, sauce, and optional veggies in your crockpot, set the timer, and walk away! Shredding the chicken once it’s juicy and done is a breeze using a Chicken Shredder Tool Twist for Kitchen, making portioning and serving effortless.

To keep cleanup easy (and your food from sticking), line your crock with a sheet from the Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll before adding ingredients.
