Ingredients

  • 2 lb. boneless chicken breast
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion (60g) diced small
  • 1/4 cup honey (84g)
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce (120g)
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar (60g)
  • 1 Tbsp ginger paste or minced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup cold water (60g)
  • 2 Tbsp corn starch (16g)

Optional for garnish

  • 2-3 green onions sliced thin
  • sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Whisk together the minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, salt and pepper.
  • Place the chicken breasts in the Crockpot. Pour the sauce over the chicken. Cover with a lid and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 7-8 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and shreds easily with a fork.
  • Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken to a cutting board or plate. Shred the chicken with two forks. Transfer remaining teriyaki sauce from the Crockpot to a saucepan.
  • Whisk the water and corn starch together in a bowl. Pour the corn starch slurry into the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, and let it boil for about 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Stir frequently.
  • Remove from heat and pour the sauce on top of the shredded chicken. Toss to combine. Serve with rice, stuffed in a bun or however sounds good! Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds and enjoy!
