Crockpot Teriyaki Chicken

By saustin5

Ingredients

• 2 lbs boneless chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 clove minced garlic
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons water

Preparation

Step 1

Place chicken in the crockpot.
In a medium bowl combine sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic, and pepper. Pour over chicken and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours. (Some comments have noted they would have cooked it less, I suggest checking it at 3 hours, if possible)
Carefully remove chicken from slow cooker, chop into cubes, and set aside.
Strain the cooking liquid into a skillet and bring to a boil.
In a small bowl whisk cornstarch and water until combined.
Slowly add cornstarch mixture to boiling liquid and reduce to a simmer. Allow sauce to thicken for 2-3 minutes then toss the chicken back in.
Coat chicken with sauce and let heat through.
