Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
3 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon sesame oil
3 tablespoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons cold water

Instructions

Spray the insert of the crock pot with cooking spray. Lay the chicken breasts on the bottom.
In a small mixing bowl, or glass measuring cup, whisk together brown sugar, chicken broth, water, soy sauce, garlic, and sesame oil. Pour over the chicken. Cover with the lid and cook on LOW heat for 6-8 hours.
Take the chicken out of the crock pot and shred it with two forks. In a small bowl mix together the cornstarch and cold water. Pour into the broth in the crock pot and whisk it to combine. Add the shredded chicken back in. Cover with the lid and let cook for 30 minutes so the sauce can thicken and the chicken can get coated in the sauce.
Serve over cooked rice and garnish with green onions.
** I actually prefer the longer cook time on this recipe because the chicken literally falls apart and because of all the teriyaki sauce the chicken won't dry out. Especially once you put the shredded chicken back into the teriyaki sauce. If you're gone all day, no worries, just let it cook the full time and when you get home shred the chicken and put it back in the sauce, which is about the same amount of time you need to cook some rice.

Notes

You can use chopped garlic from the jar, garlic paste from a tube, or use fresh garlic cloves that have been minced or pressed. Just make sure that whatever you use is equal to 3 cloves garlic.

You need about 2 pounds to 2 1/2 pounds of chicken for this recipe which is equal to about 4 chicken breasts.

Nutrition information is for one serving of the teriyaki chicken. Rice or whatever else you serve it on is additional.
