This recipe is so sweet, juicy, and flavorful and only uses a handful of ingredients. You can use the teriyaki chicken for the whole week by pairing it with different sides: steamed rice, brown rice, fried rice, chicken teriyaki sliders, asian salad, quinoa, and the list goes on!
But enough talking, here is the easy & quick recipe to try now!
For the slow cooker-
-3-4 chicken breasts
-1/2 cup chopped white onion
-1/2 cup honey
-1/2 cup soy sauce (gluten free soy sauce found at Aldi)
-1 tsp ginger
-1 tsp garlic
For the Sauce:
-1/4 cup soy sauce
-1/2 cup cold water
-3 Tbsp. cornstarch
Putting It All Together:
1. In a bowl mix together the garlic, onion, ginger, and soy sauce.2. Place the chicken breasts into the slow cooker. Then pour the soy sauce mixture over the chicken.
3. Turn the slow cooker on high for 4 1/2 to 5 hours. The chicken should be cooked through and shred very easily with a fork.
4. Remove the chicken after 4-5 hours and place on a plate. Finish shredding.
Now, for the sauce:
1. You CAN use some of the sauce from the crock pot. I scooped out about 1/4 of a cup of the leftover mixture into a bowl to use for the new sauce.2. Combine 1/4 cup of fresh soy sauce in bowl with 1/4 cup from the crock pot. Mix together.
3. Mix together the cold water and 3 Tbsp. of cornstarch until the cornstarch is dissolved.
4. Pour mixture into a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Let it boil for about 1-2 minutes. It will thicken quickly.
5. Once it has thickened, removed from heat and pour the sauce on top of the chicken. Toss to cover and combine.
This recipe is SO delicious and easy to make. I had most of the ingredients on hand and am planning on making it again this week. The only ingredient I needed to buy again fresh was the chicken! It keeps very well but it won't be around for long because of how delicious it is! I forgot to snap some pictures the last time but will make sure to do so next time! Enjoy this yummy dish :)
