Slow Cooker Chicken Teriyaki

Why do we always want Chinese food for dinner, when lunch is like 40% off AND comes with an eggroll and a soup I won't eat!? I don't need to play those games with a slow cooker handy. 



Chicken Teriyaki
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • garnish: toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions
Add chicken breasts in a single layer to the slow cooker.  In a separate bowl whisk garlic, onion, honey, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, ginger, and pepper until combined and pour mixture over the chicken breasts. Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours.

Remove chicken to a separate bowl and shred using two forks. Transfer the teriyaki sauce from the slow cooker to a saucepan.

Mix together water and cornstarch until its dissolved, whisk into the teriyaki sauce.  Bring to a boil over medium high heat and boil for about 2 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat, pour on top of the chicken and toss to combine.

Serve with rice and broccoli and top with scallions and sesame seeds.
