Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 4 servings Cooked rice or steamed vegetables (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.
Pour the honey teriyaki mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and place them on a cutting board. Shred the chicken using two forks or chop it into large pieces, depending on your preference.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry.
Transfer the sauce from the slow cooker to a medium saucepan and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat. Slowly stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the shredded or chopped chicken to the slow cooker and pour the thickened teriyaki sauce over it. Stir to coat the chicken evenly.
Serve the honey teriyaki chicken over cooked rice or steamed vegetables. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
