3/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup rice vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
4 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 cup warm water
1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped for garnish
Directions
1. Prepare the Slow Cooker
Start by preparing your slow cooker. Place the chunks of chicken breasts at the bottom of your 4-quart slow cooker. The chicken will be the base of your dish, absorbing all the rich flavors of the sauce as it cooks.
2. Mix the Sauce
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and ground ginger. This sauce is the heart of your dish, and the combination of these ingredients creates a beautifully balanced teriyaki flavor that’s both savory and sweet. Make sure to whisk until the brown sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined. Once done, pour this mixture evenly over the chicken in the slow cooker.
3. Cook
