Gluten-Free Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken Recipe
Description
The recipe starts by coating chicken breast chunks with arrowroot powder, which helps thicken the sauce during slow cooking. The sauce ingredients combine minced garlic, ground ginger, honey for sweetness, gluten-free tamari for umami, avocado oil, water, and apple cider vinegar for subtle acidity.
All ingredients are added to a slow cooker and cooked on low for six hours, allowing the chicken to become tender and absorb the sauce flavors. The sauce will be flavorful but not overly sticky unless thickened further with additional arrowroot.
This dish pairs well with rice, spaghetti squash, noodles, or steamed vegetables, making for a balanced meal with protein and simple sides.
Stirring the chicken during cooking can help distribute sauce evenly but is optional. For a stickier sauce, add more arrowroot and cook on high briefly before serving. Garnishing with green onions or sesame seeds adds a fresh finish.
Ingredients
- 3 chicken breast cut into bite-sized chunks
- ⅛ cup arrowroot powder
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ⅛ cup honey
- ¼ cup tamari gluten-free soy sauce
- 2 tbs avocado oil
- ⅓ cup water
- 1 tbs apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- In a large plastic baggie, coat the chicken bites in arrowroot powder.
- Add them to the slow cooker.
- Whisk together the remaining ingredients to make the gluten-free teriyaki sauce.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken and stir.
- Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook for 6 hours on low.
- Serve on a side of rice, spaghetti squash or noodles, and veggies.
Notes
- Stirring during cooking is optional but helps evenly coat chicken in sauce.
- For a stickier teriyaki sauce, add ½ teaspoon arrowroot powder before serving and cook on high for 20 more minutes.
- Top the dish with green onions or sesame seeds for additional flavor and texture.
