Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by trimming any excess fat from the chicken, then cut it into bite-sized chunks and set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.
  3. Layer the chicken pieces at the bottom of the slow cooker and pour the sauce mixture over the chicken.
  4. Top the chicken and sauce with chopped bell peppers and broccoli florets.
  5. Cover the Crockpot and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours.
