Slow Cooker Chicken Teriyaki
This Slow Cooker Chicken Teriyaki features tender chicken breasts cooked in a honey-soy sauce with garlic, ginger, and red wine vinegar. Slow cooking tenderizes the chicken while infusing it with the sweet and tangy teriyaki flavors. The sauce is thickened on the stove with cornstarch and poured back over shredded chicken for serving, which pairs well with rice and steamed broccoli for a well-rounded meal.
