Picky Eater Approved

My 7-year-old is the pickiest eater that you will meet. We keep hoping that he will grow out of it, but he keeps getting older and still doesn’t like a lot of foods. We at least have him try a couple of bites of what we eat, but he usually gags it down. If you ask him what his favorite meal on the blog is, he will say this teriyaki chicken. And if he likes it, I am convinced that the world will like it!

How to Make Slow Cooker Honey Teriyaki Chicken

You can always count on the slow cooker to help you with dinner time! The tasty sauce clings to the tender shredded chicken, and every bite is so flavorful! I walk you through every step with my easy-to-follow instructions and pictures!

1. Prepare: Spray the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray and place the chicken breasts in the bottom.
2. Whisk: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice wine vinegar, chopped onion, minced garlic, pepper, and ground ginger.
3. Add Sauce and Cook: Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken. Cover and cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or LOW for 5-6 hours.
4. Shred the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it with a slotted spoon and shred it using two forks.
5. Thicken the Sauce: Pour the sauce left in the bottom of the crockpot into a medium saucepan. In a small bowl, whisk together the water and cornstarch, then slowly whisk that into the sauce on medium-high heat. Continue to whisk and let it boil until the sauce starts to thicken, about 2 minutes.
6. Combine and Serve: Add the chicken back to the slow cooker and pour the sauce on top, stirring to coat. Serve over rice and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
