Crockpot Chicken Teriyaki
Description
This recipe combines chicken breasts with sliced onions in a crockpot, topped with a teriyaki-style sauce blending brown sugar, honey, soy sauce (low sodium), rice wine vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger, and black pepper. Cooking on low heat for 6 to 8 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours renders very tender chicken that easily shreds. The shredded chicken is returned to the crockpot to absorb the flavorful sauce.
The resulting dish balances sweetness and umami with a subtle tang from the vinegar. Sesame seeds and diced green onions can be sprinkled atop for added nuttiness and brightness. Serving this over rice makes for a satisfying meal that benefits from the slow cooking process.
Though the original notes express enthusiasm for the packed flavor, it is best appreciated fresh from the crockpot to maintain texture and moisture.
