Ingredients

Main Ingredients

4 pieces chicken breasts (boneless, skinless) Opt for high-quality, organic chicken for the best flavor.
1 cup teriyaki sauce Store-bought options like Kikkoman or Soy Vay are great.
1 tablespoon minced garlic Fresh garlic adds a robust flavor.
1 tablespoon minced ginger Fresh is best, but ground ginger can work in a pinch.
1 cup chopped green onions Used as a garnish for flavor and color.
2 cups steamed rice Use jasmine, brown, or cauliflower rice for low-carb options.

Method

Preparation

Place chicken breasts flat in slow cooker, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
In a bowl, mix teriyaki sauce, minced garlic, and minced ginger, whisking until combined.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken, making sure they are fully coated.
Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, checking towards the end of cooking time.
Shred cooked chicken with two forks, serve over steamed rice, and garnish with chopped green onions.
