    Made this yesterday and was worried I put too much Mandiran Teriyaki Sauce ! My husband loved it .. Served with Plantation Rice and salad. Easy and delicious, definitely going to make this again. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

    A great cook I am not. Trying to use the crock pot more often. Finally found the pineapple preserves but think I was sent the wrong sauce. I received Panda Express Mandarin Teriyaki sauce. Can someone tell me if this will taste different from Mandarin Sauce ? I’m really looking forward to making this.

      Hi Betty ~ that will work just fine. It looks like they just changed the label to add the word Teriyaki. Enjoy your dinner! šŸ™‚

    Can’t believe how simple this is. That’s why I love my crockpot – just throw everything in, wait a while, and it’s ready to go. I used to cook my chicken in the oven until I discovered you can just toss it in the crockpot and it comes out great. Haven’t cooked chicken in the oven since šŸ™‚

    I’ll definitely be giving this recipe a try soon!

    Definitely will make again.

    What size Crockpot do you use- Do you layer the Chicken.

      Hi Patricia ~ 5 – 7 quart crockpots work great for this recipe, and laying the chicken flat {not layering} works best. Hope that helps! šŸ™‚

    Sounds great but no liquid at first? Chicken won’t stick to the crock? Won’t the chicken dry out? Sounds delish otherwise

      Hi Linda ~ no water is required in the crockpot with the chicken… it will end up cooking in its own juices. Hope that helps! šŸ˜‰

    How do you cook the chicken? With water in the crockpot?

      Hi Emily ~ you won’t need to add any water… the chicken will cook in its own juices that are released. Hope that helps! šŸ˜‰

        What would happen if I didn’t drain the juices after 3 hours? I’m wondering because I usually throw everything in and not worry about it until dinner. these recipe’s look so good and I’d like to try them all. Is it just a matter of everything being watered down maybe? Or could we get sick if I don’t? (It’s chicken so I’m nervous) Thanks!

          Hi Char ~ it’s not necessary to drain the juices… I just like to because you end up with a much thicker sauce in the end. šŸ˜‰ If you aren’t around to do that, then yes… you could definitely add all ingredients at the beginning and will have a thinner sauce in the end. Hope that helps!

    Hey Heidi! Do you have any recipes with the nutritional information calculated with it? One of my children is a diabetic, and these recipes look so delicious, but I’m needing the carb and sugar content information, so I’ll know if I need to make some adjustments. Thank you!
