Ingredients
| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Boneless skinless chicken breasts, chopped | 3 pounds |
| Low-sodium soy sauce | 3/4 cup |
| Brown sugar | 3/4 cup |
| Rice vinegar | 1/3 cup |
| Garlic cloves, minced | 2 cloves |

Instructions
Step 1: Lay the chopped chicken snugly at the base of a 4-quart slow cooker.
Step 2: In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and ground ginger. Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken.
Step 3: Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours, until the chicken is tender.
Step 4: Remove the chicken and set aside. Mix cornstarch and warm water in a small bowl until smooth, then stir it into the sauce in the slow cooker. Let the sauce thicken for a few minutes.
Step 5: Return the chicken to the slow cooker, tossing it well in the thickened sauce.
Serving Suggestion
Serve your Teriyaki Chicken over steamed rice and garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds. Add a side of stir-fried veggies for a complete, balanced meal.
Tip: This recipe also works beautifully with chicken thighs if you prefer darker, juicier meat!
