Pulled Chicken Teriyaki , high-protein, delicious, effort-free – perfect for meal prep!
Ingredients
For 6 portions:
- 800 gr chicken breast
- Salt, black pepper, paprika, spices you like
- 250 ml teriyaki sauce, I used Kikkoman
- 125 ml water
Tools Needed
- 1 Cutting board
- 1 Slow Cooker
- 6 Meal Prep Boxes, I use these
Procedure
- Place the chicken breasts the the teriyaki sauce, and the water in the slow cooker. Ensure the chicken is fully coated in the sauce.
- Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours.
- Once the chicken is cooked, shred it using a fork and divide it into meal prep containers.
- Pour half of the remaining sauce from the slow cooker in a medium saucepot and discard the other half. Bring the sauce to a boil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons water to make a slurry. While the sauce is boiling, whisk in the slurry and continue to boil the sauce until it has thickened and is the consistency of syrup. Pour the sauce over the shredded chicken and toss to combine. Serve the chicken over rice or noodles.
- Serve with rice, in tortillas, or in lettuce wraps. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
