Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowls
The chicken was tender and the sauce was sweet and aromatic in these slow cooker teriyaki chicken rice bowls. I added Sriracha to cut the sweetness.

Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts boneless, skinless - or thighs
- salt and pepper
- 3/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup onion diced
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 4 teaspoons cornstarch
- 6 tablespoons cold water or less
- Sriracha sauce dash or two - or 6, to taste
- sesame seeds optional for garnish
Instructions
- Salt and pepper both sides of the chicken breasts and place them in crock pot. In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, onion, ketchup, oil, garlic and pepper flakes. Pour over chicken. Cook on low for 3 to 4 hours or on high 1 1/2 – 2 1/2 hours, or just until chicken is cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove chicken to a plate or cutting board, leaving the sauce.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 4 teaspoons of cornstarch in 6 tablespoons of cold water (or just enough to dissolve the corn starch, it's up to you). When all the lumps are gone, pour it into crock pot. Stir to combine with sauce. Put the lid back on and cook sauce on high for ten more minutes or until slightly thickened.
- When the chicken is cool enough to handle, cut or shred the chicken into bite size pieces, then return to pot and toss with sauce before serving. Add a dash or two of Sriracha sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve over rice or noodles.

Notes
- If you are using frozen chicken, there is no need to thaw it. Just keep an eye on it and cook it longer. (if you use frozen, don't bother salt and peppering the chicken. Just add it to the crockpot.)
