Place the sliced onion in the bottom of the Crock-Pot® and arrange the chicken thighs on top.
Whisk together the ingredients and the sauce over the chicken.
Cover and cook on LOW for 4½ hours or HIGH for 2–2½ hours, until the chicken is tender and reaches at least 185°F.
During the final 30 minutes, add broccoli in (optional)
Serve the chicken over steamed rice, spoon that teriyaki sauce over everything and finish with green onions and optional sesame seeds.
