Ingredients

  • 700 g chicken breast
  • 8 portion Homemade Teriyaki Sauce

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Make the teriyaki sauce.
  2. Put the chicken breasts into a slow cooker and cover with the teriyaki sauce. Cook on high for 4 hours.
  3. Once cooked, remove the chicken and shred into large chunks. Return the chicken to the sauce, mix well and serve.

Notes

  • We used a homemade teriyaki sauce, however you could use a good quality store bought one if you wanted to save some time.
  • If you find this too dry (we think the chicken is moist enough), then make some extra sauce and save it until serving and drizzle it over the chicken. Remember, the sauce is fairly salty though, so you don't want to use too much.
  • Try not to over shred the chicken. It's best with larger chunks, so be careful when mixing everything up as this will shred it further.
