FAQ
Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?
Yes! Chicken thighs work perfectly and stay extra juicy in the crockpot. They add a slightly richer flavor to the dish.
Should I cook the rice separately or in the crockpot?
You can do either! For convenience, add uncooked rice directly to the crockpot, but if you prefer firmer rice, cook it separately and stir it in before serving.
Can I use instant rice for this recipe?
If you’re short on time, you can use instant rice — just stir it in during the last 20–30 minutes so it doesn’t overcook.
How long should I cook Teriyaki Chicken and Rice in the crockpot?
Cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and the rice is fully cooked.
